Town elected to bat and made a good start through colts steve bruning(23) and tom hill(29) but after reaching 90 for the loss of two wickets they collapsed and were bowled out for just 138.

Skipper Bob Hutt 30 n.o.looked in good form but run out of partners as Town disappointed being bowled out after just 34 overs.

Great Brickhill to their credit fielded well and took some good catches and Towns cause was not helped with two run outs.

Brickhill had to thank T. Hardy (64) for their win.

Town's bowlers tried hard but defending such a low score was always going to be hard.
