Town win last day derby
Town gave their survival chances a slight boost when they defeated Bletchley Town in the local derby at Bourton Road by 37 runs and they leapfrogged Marlow in the process.

After being inserted, Graham Judd went early on and it was Ed Jones who blossomed batting at number three. The former Town skipper returned to the side and along with namesake Bryn, they took the score on at a good rate before the latter was caught.

Newcomer Mark Clay joined Ed Jones in the middle and the rate was continued at five an over with an excellent battle between Jones and the left arm pace of Mohammed.
Jones struck a number of boundaries before he was caught for a useful 31 runs.

Town then lost quick wickets at were 67 for 6, before Anthony Romaine played a solid knock with his skipper James Gear.

The pair took the score past the century mark before Gear fell and it was Dan Harris and Mark James who both supported the dogged Romaine sensibly.

Romaine proceeded to play his best knock of the campaign with his half century reach in 79 minutes from 74 balls.

He was the last man out for an innings of 56 runs, which included eight boundaries, as Town set Bletchley 155 runs for victory. Mohammed the pick of the bowling with 5 for 58 in sixteen overs.

When Gear picked up his third wicket opening the bowling, Bletchley were 60 for 4 and the game was finely balanced.

The Town skipper was then in the thick of the action as he took two catches off the bowling of Tarun Nethula to give his side a slight advantage.

Lockwood and Hardy took Bletchley past the century total before Chris Harris, in his second spell, returned to have Lockwood caught behind by Romaine and Kilby caught by James in four balls.

Town introduced James whose seaming delivery trapped Clark in front before Gear had Hardy (28) caught by Romaine to give his side a 37-run success.
