Buckingham Town U13s vs Milton Keynes Park

Buckingham Town U13s continued their good start to the season with an 153 run win over MK Park in the Bucks League.

Toby O'Neill and Josh Goff put on a rapid opening stand of 63 before each was out for 27. Then man of the match Dilshan Direkze hit eight fours in three explosive overs before retiring on 33. Stuart Powell retired on 30 before Harsh Jethra (13) and Alex Guntert (9) finished the innings with an unbroken stand of 30, for Town to post a total of 186 for 3 (exactly the same as the previous week!).

Town then restricted their hosts to a total of 33, made up of singles and extras. After a tidy three over spell from Richard Collett the wickets tumbled to Josh Goodey (2), Powell (2), Ben Austin, Dryden Williams, Jethra and Direkze. O'Neill made a smart stumping and combined with Jonny Neeves and Austin (who took the fielding award) in two run-outs. As captain, O'Neill set tight attacking fields which resulted in catches at short extra cover for Williams, Direkze and Goff.
