Towcestrians vs Buckingham Town 2nd XI

Buckingham Town 2nds lost their sunday friendly off the last ball of the game when Towcesterians scrambled a run off a "wide".

Buckingham batting first started poorly but recovered with Chris Coxhill(20) and Russ Thompson(27). Chris Horsler smashed a lively 43 and well supported by 12 year old Adam Bone who impressed with 33n.o. saw Buckingham to 180 all out.

Towcesterians started very well and were in cruise control until a collapse saw them scramble home by one wicket to win in an exciting finish.

Adam Bone bowled superbly taking 4-17 and 13 year old Callum Cater did likewise with 1-23 from his eight overs.

Two stars of the future without doubt.
