Match report:
At the 3rd time of trying due to the first games being cancelled because of the terrible weather both teams turned up to the ground in glorious sunshine.

T Cullen lost the toss and CCC U-21's were asked to bat first. S Ali (24) and W Hussain (20) were very impressive in punishing any wayward bowling, playing some fantastic pulls and cuts on the way to an opening stand of 49 within the first 10 overs. Sadly that was the only highlight of innings as the CCC side rather miserably and without any application were all out for 102 in 38.2 over's.
J Maciver 4-5, A Raja 2-24 and M Rance 1-16 were the stand out bowlers.

Noting that the Bucks spin bowlers enjoyed a fair amount of success on a bouncy turning wicket, captain T Cullen opened the bowling with his own spinners, A Laws (1-21) and J Ellis-Grewal (2-21) who bowled fantastically well and gave their side very controlled start. They were ably supported by 17 year old leg spinner, T Kazmi who made is debut (2-19), and the consistent G Singh (2-32). With a low total to defend all four CCC U-21's spinners were highly impressive, and by taking 7 wickets between them they ensured that they competed until the very end. Bucks 106-7 in 38.4 over's.
