Buckingham Town Cricket Club - May 31st 2010

President Graham Fryer's side lost the toss and Buckingham batted first scoring a useful 247-9. Jonny Cater batted well for 53(retired) after openers Graham Judd(47) and Jamges Gear(39) made a good start to the innings.

Useful runs came from Jason Ell(30) who was superby caught by Sabin and Ben Stafford(19). For Graham's side Paul Sly and Richard Tredwell took 3 wickets each.

The Presidents XI made a good start through L. Sabin(34) and Anant Peshavaria(18) but an exciting finish was achieved thanks to Gary Fryer, Graham's son, who scored a fine 111 before being bowled by Ell. Matt Dipple(21) batted well but bowlers Ell and Judd saw Town home in other last over by just 5 runs.

Thanks to Graham, his wife Margaret, and daughters Dawn and Andrea for the excellent refreshments and thanks also to Andy for his work on the ground and to Bev, Susie and Jo behind the bar.
