Buckingham Town Cricket Club - August 2nd 2008Thame Town vs Buckingham TownAndrew Holland writes:Town hit record lowRain meant that there was no play before lunch at Thame on Saturday, but the weather cleared up in time for a 2:30 start meaning a game of 73 overs was possible. Thame lost the toss and inserted Buckingham into bat. In the absence of opener Rob Large, a new partnership of Leigh Tomlinson and Jonny Cater opened up for the visitors. It didn't last too long though as Michael Beard bowled Tomlinson in the third over for just 4. Sam Lachlan then took 3 wickets in consecutive overs to remove Bowden, Harris and Parker so that the score was 22-4 from 10 overs. James Tomlinson came to the wicket, and together he and Cater tried to rebuild the innings. Cater went to 24, and was looking in good touch before returning a catch to Lachlan for his fourth wicket. James Gear came to the wicket and the next partnership lasted 11 overs, but with the score only moving onto 61. Jaydeep Bhatti, who had taken 7 wickets against Buckingham previously in the season, broke the partnership, and started the collapse to the end of the innings as he took 3 wickets before Lachlan returned to take his fifth. Buckingham were all out for their lowest Home Counties score of 68.Run scoring wasn't much easier for Thame, but the openers put on a solid 33 to half the total before Dewayne Bowden bowled Beard for 19. The introduction spin saw opener Parmar find the boundary several times including a lofted 6. He made a good 34 before falling lbw to spinner Ben Stafford before Bhatti hit the winning runs.

Points:
Buckingham Town 2nd XI vs Challow & Childrey 2nd XIBob Hutt writes:Buckingham Town 2nds maintained top spot in Div 4 of the Cherwell League with a comfortable six wicket win over Challow & Childrey 2nds. Town elected to field first and the visitors to Bourton Road were bowled out for a very modest 141. Opening bowlers Ryan Spragg and Steve Brunning 1-19 kept matters tight early on and then Stephen Lewis 2-38 and Chris Coates 2-16 bowled well but the star with the ball was skipper Dom Pritchard who followed last weeks six wickets with another excellent spell taking 5-43. After a steady start Town lost both in-form bats Matt Thacher(10) and Stephen Lewis(28) but keeper Robin Pritchard saw Town home with a good knock of 63 not out. Innings of Challow & Childrey 2nds
