Buckingham Town Cricket Club - May 11th 2006Stony Stratford U16 vs Buckingham Town U16 (Hair Moda League)Andy Norman writes:Buckingham Under 16's Team Thursday 11th May: Stony Stratford (Away) Meet @ 5.00pm - Buckingham Cricket Club (Alphabetical, Not Batting Order)
1) Chris Coxhill 2) James Coxhill 3) Matt Coxhill 4) Matt Faulkner 5) Rory Nath (W) 6) Andy Norman (C) 7) Rob Pritchard (W) 8) Oshy Ryan-Pont 9) Jon Smith 10) Simon Taylor 11) Mikey YounghusbandTown U16's were narrowly defeated to Stony Stratford by 11 runs, after dominating large parts of the game. You could tell it was the first match of the season as Stony Stratford, batting first, got a flying start with 60ish runs off the first 7 overs. Then Town started to realize what talent they possessed and started bowling and fielding to a very high standard with Matt Faulkner and Andy Norman bowling extremely tightly with Rob Pritchard the pick of the bowling with 1-3. Chris Coxhill also picked up 2 wickets. Stony finished the 20 overs on 127-5. The task was still not easy as light was fading and Oshy threw 3 of the 4 practice balls into the cover water. Rob Pritchard, opening the batting, stuck to the task and made 52 including a fine array of shots on off and leg side after riding his luck early on, being dropped at least 3 times. Town's middle order did not contribute much with all most batsmen getting off the mark in style, but then throwing their wicket away going for the big one. A late flurry from Andy Norman (15) was not enough to steer Buckingham home and after Simon, trying desperately to find a helmet, had got his hands on a lid, Buckingham ran out of deliveries and finished 11 runs short of the mark (116-9). Town finished up with 6 Bonus Points (4 batting and 2 bowling). Shot Of The Night: Rob Pritchard - Flat six landing on the pavilion roof. Next up for Town U16's are fierce rivals North Crawley (Home), 6.15pm start, Thursday 18th May.
