Buckingham Town Cricket Club - July 25th 2007Stoke Hammond Youth vs Buckingham Town YouthBob Hutt writes:A Buckingham youth XI travelled to Stoke Hammond for a friendly. Both sides had a mixture of different age groups. Hammond skipper 13 year old Francesca D'Agostino, a bucks youth player, won the toss and elected to field. In between the bad weather of late the teams were lucky to get a game in and although the match started in light drizzle the rain did stop to allow the sides to play. Buckingham batted first and scored a respectable 95-7. Dan Hassell top scored with 27 and was well supported by Ben Cater(17), Frank Johnson(15) and A. Patel 11n.o. Stoke Hammond Youth made a respectable reply closing on 69-7 with M.Nesbitt(19) top scorer and D. Tooth(16) and W.Lawson(13) also reached double figures. Everyone enjoyed the match and it gave the youngsters some much needed match practice in a season dominated by the bad weather. Innings of Buckingham Town Youth
