Buckingham Town 3rd XI vs Great Tew 3rd XIBob Hutt writes:Buckingham Town won a high scoring game against Great Tew 3rds in sensational style winning off the last ball of the match when young Frank Johnson bowled the Tew number 11. Town put into bat made a solid start through openers Steve Brunning(37) and Alex O'Dell(29) and then Mark James batted well for his 48 but the innings of the Town score was from skipper Helps who was in superb nick scoring an excellent 81 as Town made 253-7. For Tew openers Licence(76) and Marks(64) put on 132 for the first wicket as the visitors looked set to run Town close. A middle order collapse brought Buckingham back into the game but a late rally by Tew saw them bowled out for 245 just 8 runs short. Skipper Stuart Helps completed a great days cricket taking 5-46 and last ball hero Frank Johnson took 3-55 whilst Steve Brunning and Jack Wilkins had one wicket apiece both important.
