MATCH REPORT

LAST WICKET STAND SECURES WIN

Buckingham 3rds consolidated their second place in the League with an exciting one wicket win over League leaders Hamborough. On a damp wicket batting was difficult and Buckingham did well to bowl the visitors out for 120.

Staurt Helps 5-26 and Suresh Talsania 4-78 did the damage and bowled well

with an excellent run out by R. Thompson. Buckingham in reply batted poorly and after

a middle order collapse were rescued by Paul Board 18n.o. and Jonny Cater(19)

who both batted with sense to Buckingham home in an excellent finish.
