Buckingham Town Cricket Club - May 17th 2008Buckingham Town vs WokinghamAndrew Holland writes:Town Fall to Second DefeatAfter a disappointing performance in the first game of the season, Buckingham lost the toss in overcast conditions and were put into bat. 2 wickets fell in the first 6 overs though as opening Wokingham's opening bowlers applied the pressure, and when Rob Large was bowled for 21 the score was 28-3 from 12 overs. Dewayne Bowden and Jonny Cater dug in after the early wickets, and although runs were slow to come they didn't lose any wickets as a good partnership began to grow. After 20 overs the score was 59-3 and the batsman began to increase the run rate. A couple of catches went down but the runs were starting to flow as Bowden brought up his 50 with a straight 6. A brief stop for rain saw 2 overs lost but at lunch the score was 118-3 from 33 overs.The lunch break came at the wrong time though as, with the score on 127, Cater was bowled by leg spinner Dan Duran for 38 and the innings capitulated in a 76 ball spell that saw 7 wickets fall for 13 runs. Martin Willow the main wicket taker with 6 for 47. Buckingham were all out for 140. Openers Dan Duran and Adam England started the chase positively as they put on 53 in the first 12 overs to begin thoughts of a win before tea. Churms removed Doran for 22 but the runs continued with the score reaching 94-1 from 19 overs. Spinner James Gear got the breakthrough though as he removed the Wokingham skipper for 23 before Bowden had England well caught for 44. Gear picked up another wicket soon after before Jason Ell had 2 wickets in 2 balls to leave the score 130-6 at tea, with only 11 runs needed to win. Any thoughts of a shock win for the hosts were dispelled after tea though as the batsmen took 20 balls to knock off the 11 runs needed sending Buckingham to played 2, lost 2.

In reply Buckingham lost Taylor early and then Matt Thatcher (29) and his brother Andy(28) gave them a solid start. Their good work was carried on by R. Pritchard(27) and G.Judd 20n.o. as Town won by four wickets. A. Cook for Twyford bowled well taking 4-25 from his 15 overs. Innings of Twyford 1st XI

Buckingham Town 3rd XI vs Great Brickhill 2nd XIBob Hutt writes:Buckingham Town 3rds lost by one wicket to league newcomers Great Brickhill 2nds in a superb match. Town were inserted and made a solid start through Nigel Norman(29) and Stuart Helps(43). Allrounder Helps in particular was in good form. Adrian Johnson chipped in with 15 and then Callum Cater(34) and Anant Peshavaria 38n.o. saw Town to a respectable total of 190-5. Brickhill in reply made a steady start but collapsed to 138-8. Town in an effort to win the match bowled as many overs as they could but Brickhill scraped home by one wicket. Al. Bowden 36n.o. won the game for Brickhill. A very good all round team performance from Town saw them grab 13 points from the match. Stuart Helps after his good batting completed a fine days work taking 6-63 from 26 overs. Youth player Harry Martin took a superb catch on his league debut and also bowled well. Town's other young players Rob Laird, Callum Cater and Steve Brunning also bowled well.
