Buckingham Town Cricket Club - U16 2006 Hair Moda Champions

Andy Norman and Chris Coxhill write:
Buckingham under 16's glorious season finally came to a close when the team collected the Hair Moda League Trophy from the league chairman at Bourton Road.

An enthusiastic crowd was in attendance to witness the climax of the team's last and most successful season ever. A great night was had by all and 12 player awards were given to the team as well as individual awards for batting, bowling and manager's player. The batting award went to Rob Pritchard; John Smith collected the bowling trophy while Captain Andy Norman picked up the manager's player of the year award.

After winning the county title, the team progressed through a further 2 rounds before losing in the quarter final of the Lord's Taverners National Tournament against a strong Swindon side. This last 8 finish in the country has been the highlight of the boys' cricketing career and they modestly owe their success to their fantastic team spirit and not just individual performance.

On presentation, skipper Andy Norman commented on a few players, who throughout the season played a vital role in the team's success. They were: Matt Faulkner - the only player to play all 14 games, Chris Coxhill (Vice) - a consistent bowler and integral part of the team's success, Rob Pritchard - the team's top run scorer, averaging well over 50 and now an established second team player, Harsh Jethra - promising under 15 who has taking the third XI by storm this season with his all-round abilities & Oshy Ryan-Pont - expert fielder who always turns up and gives his best every game.

The team would like to thank Colin Piggott and Richard Pengelly for their fantastic coaching of the team over the last 2 seasons.
