Buckingham Town vs Stony Stratford

Andy Bone writes:
Captain Jonny Cater gave a spirited performance with a match winning innings as his side opened their F.G.Watts League campaign with a victory at Stony Stratford on Sunday.

Cater lost the toss as the home side elected to bat first.

New signing Greg Pearson bagged three for 26 while his opening partner Vish Valambhia returned with three for 36 as Town enjoyed the better of the early exchanges.

The slow right arm of Ben Stafford, returning after injury, saw him remove Stony's top scorer, Peterious (54) before James Tomlinson's leg spin removed the tail as he finished with three for 14.

The home side only batted 33.4 overs as they were dismissed for 151.

Town struggled early on as Chaplin removed three of the top order to leave the visitors reeling at 29 for 4.

Town's seventeen year old Captain showed great maturity as he and sixteen year old Rob Pritchard (12) shared a stand of 42 runs.

Pearson joined Cater in the middle as the pair added 59 runs with the Town Captain reaching a fine half century during the stand.

Pearson (22) edged behind after a great knock and it was left to Cater to guide his side home to a three wicket victory as he finished undefeated on 76 runs.
