Buckingham Town Cricket Club - May 14th 2008

Buckingham Towns Under 14's in fine form.

Buckingham battered first with all the front line batsmen scoring runs, Johnson hit a fine 25 and Whitehead a hard hitting 27, but it was Caters hard hitting 32 not out that set up a fine score of 132 for 4 in 20 overs.

Buckingham's bowlers were always on top, making scoring difficult for the MK City team, Sahazad hit a fine 28 but no other batman made double figures in a total of 59 for 4 in 20 overs.

Whitehead put in another fine bowling performance of 4 overs for no runs, he was ably supported by the ever steady Hill 3 overs for 4 runs, however the performance of the day went to Johnson who took 2 for 7 in 3 overs.

A fine performance all round.

Buckingham Towns Under 15's out of the Cup.

Buckingham were put in to bat on a cold dark dank evening, Scoring was steady but wickets fell at regular intervals. Matt Iceton produced the inning of the day with a fine unbeaten 57, ably supported by Hassell (12) and Dearlove 10 not out. Buckingham managed to reach a respectable score of 108 for 6 off of there 20 overs.

The pick of the Wolverton bowlers was Potter 2 for 17 and Akhlaq 2 for 7.

Wolverton started slowly due to some fine bowling by King and Dearlove.

Charmings made 11 before being removed by Dearlove with the score on 27, Marshall and Evans quickly followed and when the dangerous Potter was Caught by Iceton for 22 with the score on 68 for 4 with 45 over to go the match looked as if it had swung Buckingham's way.

Ahklaq put in a man of the match performance by hitting a belligerent 34 not out to see Wolverton home with 6 balls to go.

Wolverton ending up on 110 for 5.

Whilst the result did not go Buckingham's way this was another fine performance with the bat and in the most part with the ball. Buckingham will hope to carry this level of performance through the rest of the season.
