Celebrations again this weekend as Beaconsfield beat Stony Stratford.

A bright, late September morning and a bumper crowd set the scene for a great day’s cricket. Stony Stratford won the toss and elected to bowl. An excellent spell of opening bowling had Beaconsfield on the back foot. 6 wickets falling in the first 7 overs thanks to some accurate and pacey bowling. The ship was steadied somewhat during the middle overs with Beaconsfield progressing from 26-6 to 63-7. The tail continued to rotate the strike effectively with Beaconsfield reaching 97 all out from 19.2 overs.

Stony Stratford made an excellent start moving without much alarm to 30 for the loss of just 1 wicket. A change of bowling worked for Beaconsfield and 30-1 quickly became 33-6. It was then Stony’s turn to show some resistance in the middle order but Beaconsfield plugged away with some accurate bowling of their own, keeping the extras to a minimum and ultimately making the break through with the score 52-7. Stony continued to chip away at the total but came up short at 70 all out leaving Beaconsfield to celebrate becoming Bucks Girls U13 champions for 2020.

A great game of cricket and a fantastic advert for girls’ cricket in Bucks.
