Bucks end season winless
Despite a brilliant century form High Wtcombe left-hander Paul Sawyer, Bucks had to settle for a draw in their final Minor Counties Eastern Division match of the season against Hertfordshiere at Hertford on Tuesday.

The result meant that, 12 months after their memorable Championship success, Bucks went through the summer without a victory. Only final opponents Herts prevented them finishing bottom of the table.

Winning the toss in excellent battimg conditions, Herts amassed 372-9 in their first innings, although there was a heartening display form Beaconsfield paceman Usman Arif, who captured 5-80 in an excellent spell.

Sawyer, who hit 130 off only 137 balls with four sixes and 17 fours, dominated the Bucks reply of 370-8, just two runs behind.

At the end of the second day, with the host county on 111-5 in their second innings, there were hopes of a Bucks victory. But some stubborn batting on a flat pitch, meant that Herts were able to reach 294-9 before a prolonged shower brought the match to a premature conclusion.
