Buckingham Town Cricket Club - August 3rd 2008Buckingham Town 2nd XI vs StewkleyBob Hutt writes:Buckingham Town 2nds beat Stewkley in their Sunday friendly in an excellent match with victory coming in the last over of the game. Stewkley played with nine men due to transport problems which didn't help their cause. Stewkley won the toss and batted and made a fine start after losing a quick wicket. Skipper Tom Beasley was in good form with 106 not out well supported by M. Aldis 52. With runs coming quickly Town brought on Robin Pritchard 2-22 who slowed the run rate down and Stewkley closed on 208-5 from their 40 overs. Harry Martin 1-53 and Rob Laird 1-39 bowled well and tidy spells came from Tim Wigan,Luke Stafford and Lawrence D'Silva. Town made a good start through openers Lawrence D'Silva(48) and Callum Cater(28) and then a mini collapse took place in poor light and steady drizzle which eventually cleared. Town's hero was Robin Pritchard who scored a match winning 59 not out. Stewkley's cause wasn't helped with only nine fielders and a wet ball. However it was an excellent match. Innings of Stewkley
