Buckingham Town Cricket Club - May 31st 2009

Blackthorn made a good start and Steven Lewis(56) who plays for Buckingham on saturdays was in fine form and opener D. Booker(45) looked good before Robin Pritchard bowled him. As the run chase continued Blackthorn lost wickets quickly and closed on 215-9 from their 40 overs.

Kevin D'Silva for Buckingham took a hat-trick which is a rare feat in any type of cricket as he finished with 4-28. A smart catch by skipper Callum Cater gave Kevin his hat-trick.

Chris Wigan took 3-40 in support.

Buckingham made a solid start through Mike Taylor(40) and Chris Wigan (21) and Josh Whitehead(20) and skipper Callum Cater(32) were also in good nick with the bat but Buckingham steadily lost wickets against a good Blackthorn bowling attack to close on 190-9. Young Ryan Freshwater batted well for his 11 runs.
