Buckingham Town U14 vs Beaconsfield U14

Playing this time at Preston Bissett, Town held Beaconsfield to 129 for 7 in 25 overs (H Wood 40 retired). Good fielding yielded one run out and six catches, giving wickets to bowlers Max Jarman, Nick Wilkes (2), Josh Goodey and Ollie Collins (2).

In reply Town were at first pinned down by accurate fast bowling, before the run rate was brought back on target by a third wicket stand of 57 between Dilshan Direkze (42 retired) and Stuart Powell (24). Then, despite a batting collapse in which offspinner M Dacuna took 4-23, Wilkes (29 not out) steered the tail to safety, helped for the last four overs by sensible running from Jack Robbins.

Buckingham Town U11 vs Winslow U11

The less experienced Buckingham side lost too many wickets to compete & finished with a nett score of 221. Buckingham Town's Ben Cater was the overall top scorer of the day with 12 not out.
