Buckingham Town Cricket Club - April 25th 2004
Buckingham Town versus Open University
Buckingham Town 2nds lost their Sunday friendly against the Open University
by 6 wickets. Buckingham's acting skipper Tim Arcdeacon elected to
bat with a very young side but from their 40 overs a very modest total of
138-9 was reached.
Dom Pritchard(38) batted well and was well supported with good knocks
from skipper Arcdeacon(31) and Brijesh Valambhia(24).
Buckingham in reply saw young Lawrence DeSilva take 3-14 in a good spell
but the visitors reached their target with 2 overs remaining losing just
one more wicket. A creditable performance by Buckingham's youngsters
against O.U. for whom Prathar 57 n.o. batted well.
