Buckingham Town U15 (South Northants League) vs Kings Sutton

Buckingham Town kept their 100% record with a 58 run win at home to Kings Sutton in the South Northants U15 league.

Town made a solid start, reaching 60 for 1 at the half way point through openers Josh Goff (33) and Nick Wilkes (15). Then the middle order supplied the acceleration as Harsh Jethra (46 not out) led partnerships with Stuart Powell (10), Rob How (16) and Tom Jones (8 not out) to close on 142-5 after 20 overs.

Jonny Neeves then glanced the bails off first leg then off stump with angled Yorkers to remove two of the visitors' top order and U13 seamers Adam Bone and Callum Cater shared 8 overs for 20 runs to snuff out any chance of meeting the run rate. Further wickets fell to Bone, Josh Goodey, Wilkes and Dilshan Direkze (2), thanks to four catches and a stumping, and to a direct hit run out from long leg by Neeves.

Kings Sutton closed on 84-8, with Will Sandal carrying his bat for a determined 39 not out.
