Girls' CricketBuckingham Town Maidens Regional ChampionsOn Tuesday 10th August Buckingham Town Maidens competed in the Lady Taverners Regional U13 Outdoor Finals. With the rain falling steadily in Bournemouth normal play was impossible so the competition was to be decided on a serious of bowl outs between the teams. Two balls per bowler with the whole squad having to bowl highest number of wickets taken would decide the match. Nerve-racking for both the coaches and parents the Maidens held their nerve winning against Devon, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Somerset. A great team effort by all involved but a special mention must go to Emma Measey taking first ball wickets in the sudden death part of two matches! The squad now go on to represent the South and West in the National Finals in Shropshire on Thursday 26th August. Prizes were presented by Lydia Greenway who was part of the England Women's winning world cup cricket team and is pictured with the Buckingham Town Maidens.
