Buckingham Town Cricket Club - July 14th 2008Olney Town B vs Buckingham WizardsBeverley Helps writes:Wizards too strong for OlneyThe Wizards travelled to Olney to defend their unbeaten record in the U10's Shires League. Buckingham won the toss and chose to field. Tight bowling from Ryan Marsden (Capt) and Solomen Janecki four overs, four maidens with Janecki taking one wicket, saw the Wizards off to a good start. James Holmes also bowled two excellent maiden overs and Oliver Plummer-Clark and Jordan Helps continued to make life hard for the Olney batsmen each taking a wicket a piece. Eight year old Joe West making his debut for the Wizards bowled superbly taking two wickets in his two overs , he was just pipped by the outstanding Joe Robey who bowled two maiden overs and took two wickets. The Wizards fielding was in good order with Joe West standing out with Marsden and Robey taking fine catches. As normal Alistair Martin was in great form behind the stumps hardly putting a glove wrong. The Olney batsmen worked hard to post a total of 24.In reply the Wizards openers Marsden and Janecki played solidly on an increasingly low wicket, Plummer-Clark and Holmes produced some fine attacking shots to ease the BTCC past their total. At the half way stage West and Robey had free reign to play their shots with West scoring 9 not out and Robey completing a man of the match performance with a hard hit 16. Helps and Martin also had some fun with the bat, Martin 9 not out and Helps hitting hard for 20 not out, the Wizards running out comfortable winners.
