Buckingham Town suffered a 61-run defeat when they lost at Challow and Childrey on Saturday.

The hosts elected to bat after winning the toss and Julian Penny (51) and Australian Ashley Holtznagel (62) put Town bowlers to the sword by punishing any loose deliveries.

Once Bryn Jones introduced his new spin attack of Chris Dalkin and Dan Harris bowling in tandem, wickets fell.What looked like Town chasing in excess of 240 finished with Chris Board taking a catch in the last over to see the home side post 190 all out.

Dan Harris finished with 4 for 50 while Dalkin bagged 3 for 23.

Bryn Jones injured a knuckle in the field and was forced to bat down the order.

Challow kept the old ball and Nigel Hill and David Slade proceeded to bowl a very tight line.

Town lost early wickets and were soon 42 for 5 - three of the dismissals being caught and bowled as a result of some erratic bounce.
