Buckingham Town Cricket Club - June 13th 2005Badby U15 vs Buckingham Town U15Chris Wilkes writes:Buckingham Town had their first reverse of the season in a close game away to a determined Badby side in the South Northants U15 league. Apart from Harsh Jethra (20), the top order got out early as a result of good bowling and some carelessness as Town fell to 53 for 6 in the 14th over. A sensible recovery by Toby O'Neill (16 not out) and Josh Goodey (21 not out) then brought the final score to 104-7, a fairly competitive target in view of the long boundaries and occasional low bounce. However, Town's bowling and fielding were never quite tight enough as Badby scraped home in the last over to win by 6 wickets. Dilshan Direkze was pick of the bowlers with 2 for 11 from 3 overs, while Josh Goff made some fine stops and took the only catch. For the hosts, B Hallett had an excellent game, taking 4 for 8 from 5 overs and scoring 50 retired. |
