Andy Bone writes:
Buckingham Town comprehensively defeated Horton House by 219 runs to keep up their excellent run in the F.G.Watts Sunday League.

Town have now won five of their six matches, the other fixture having been rained off.

Captain Jonny Cater led the way at Bourton Road as he shared an opening stand of 102 runs with Leigh Tomlinson (38).

Cater scored twelve boundaries, including two sixes, before he was finally trapped in front for 74 with the score on 120.

James Tomlinson continued on his good form from the previous day as he shared a fifth wicket stand of 106 with Steve Beck, who hit a quickfire 53.

Greg Pearson's late order flurry saw Town surpass their biggest total of 305 at Wollaston two weeks earlier. Pearson finishing unbeaten with a half century while Tomlinson was 46 not out as Town closed on 310 for 5.

In reply, Horton's young side were never in the game as Vish Valambhia's opening burst of nine overs, four for 41, restricted the visitors before they finally were bowled out for just 91.

Dom Pritchard and Ben Stafford both chipped in with two for 18 while Pearson and James Tomlinson grabbed a wicket each.
