Buckingham Town Cricket Club - April 23rd 2005

BTCC 1XI v Wolverton

Andy Bone writes:
An excellent early burst by Vish Valambhia and Chris Harris left Wolverton reeling, particularly with James Tomlinson missing out on a hattrick. However from 80-7, aggressive batting and poor catching from Town allowed them to recover to 208. Despite an impressive 46 from Rob Large, and useful contributions from most batsmen, Town struggled to score at the required rate, and finished 30 runs short. However there were some promising signs for the coming season, in particular the opening burst from Vish and Chris Harris, and the continuing good form of Rob Large.

Wolverton won the toss and elected to bat:

Great Horwood 2nd XI vs Buckingham Town 2nd XI

Andy Bone writes:
A magnificent debut 50 from Leigh Tomlinson, and 44 from the returning Graham Judd dominated Buckingham’s innings, the pair putting 91 on for the first wicket in Town II's local derby at Great Horwood.

Further contributions of 33 from Russell Thompson, and twenties from Ed Jones and Tom Murray saw Town through to 178 off their 40 overs.

Tight bowling from Town’s opening bowlers restricted Great Horwood’s opening batsmen, but it was the return of Judd with the ball and the introduction of Pritchard that saw Horwood loose three wickets in three overs that swung the game firmly in Town’s favour.
