Young Gerrards Cross all-rounder Jonny Hughes returned a six-wicket haul for Bucks in our rain-affected draw with Norfolk at Burnham in the Minor Counties Championship Eastern Division.
In the last match of what has been a disappointing campaign, seamer Hughes returned 6-51 to restrict Norfolk's first innings lead to 55 runs, after we had been bowled out on the first day for 149.
Bucks fared better second time around, making 201-5 before time ran out, courtesy of a classy 84 from Farnham Royal captain Warren Miller.
Out of six Championship games, we finished with one win and three defeats, having been dogged by injuries and the unavailability of several senior players. On a more optimistic note, several younger players appeared for the Senior team for the first time and showed genuine promise. Full scorecard |

Your club secretary should already have had a questionnaire from the Thames Valley League Management Committee on your club’s aspirations towards providing umpires to the League.
In support of that initiative, The Bucks Umpires Association has decided to run a series of short introductory courses to umpiring. They will be specifically designed for captains, coaches, players who may have to officiate during a game & also for prospective umpires. Each course will last for three evenings.
We shall cover aspects such as:
Decision making on LBW appeals
Judgement of wides & no balls
What should happen when it rains
General aspects of umpiring, including captains’ responsibilities
The courses will be held at Penn & Tylers Green CC and begin on Thursday 2 October 2008. There will be a charge of £10/each attendee.
For further details, please contact:

On Sunday 10 August Buckinghamshire U10 played Middlesex U10
Buckinghamshire won the toss and asked Middlesex to bat, who scored 159 runs for the loss of 3 wickets declared in 33 overs
Harry Sutherland 6 overs 0 maidens 26 runs 1 wicket Chalfont St Giles CC and Gayhurst School
Ed Robinson 6 overs 0 maidens 22 runs 1 wicket Long Marston CC and Swanbourne House School
The Bucks bowlers lost their compose as they were put under pressure by the attacking style of the Midlesex batsmen
In reply Buckinghamshire scored 114 runs for the loss of 7 wicket in 37 overs
Harry Sutherland 18 runs Chalfont St Giles CC and Gayhurst School
Duncan Scott 12 runs Winchmore Hill CC and The Beacon School
Saif Zaib 34 not out High Wycombe CC and Crown House School
For the first ten overs the Bucks batsmen matched the Middlesex scoring rate, but then lost three quick wickets to fall behind. Duncan Scott and Saif Zaib added 44 runs for the fifth wicket, but the required run rate continued to rise. Despite losing three further wickets Bucks comfortably achieved the draw
In a match reduced to 70 overs due to the weather. Except for the first few overs of the Middlesex innings Bucks were never really in the game due to the agressive Middlesex batting
At the end of the first day Bucks were third in the table behind Middlesex and Berkshire
Losing draw for Buckinghamshire
