Buckingham Town Cricket Club - June 20th 2004Buckingham U13 vs Milton Keynes ParkTom Jones writes:Having won the toss Town elected to bat with Toby O'Neill and Tom Jones opening. Jones was out early on and Jack Thompson came to the crease. O'Neill batted with control and made an impressive 37. Thompson (12) and Ollie Collins (7) consolidated the innings before Jack Deal made 15 quick runs, running well between the wickets with Alex Guntert (7), to leave the home team with a score of 97 for 6 off 25 overs. This was always going to be a difficult total to defend particularly as MK Park started very impressively making 60 runs without loss after only 14 overs. A tight spell of bowling by O'Neill and Jonny Neeves restricted the run rate and O'Neill was rewarded with the breakthrough. Disciplined fielding, a hat-trick from Deal and wickets to Neeves and Danny Hobden saw the visitors batting falter and Town taking the win with Mk Park 83 all out. Man of the match O'Neill finished with fine figures of 4 wickets for 5 runs from 6 overs. |
