Amersham CC

In today's game against the Free Foresters Duncan Ward reached a remarkable landmark. He claimed one wicket in his spell, but that was enough to take him to 800 wickets for the club. He has played for Amersham for 26 seasons, and all at the club would like to congratulate him on his achievement. No doubt he'll be back in April heading towards 1000 wickets-knees permitting!

A terrific unbeaten 84 from Luke Jackson saw Amersham to victory against Beaconsfield today. On a blustery and showery day the rain stayed away to allow a full game of cricket. Beaconsfield scored 185-7 off their 52 overs and victory was fashioned through an unbeaten 5th wicket partnership of 96 from the Jackson brothers. Hugh's unbeaten 41 was very valuable. The 2nd XI game at Ruislip fell foul of the weather as a deluge fell on West London shortly before the game was due to start.

Many of you will remember Alan Lennon who sadly died last week after a long battle with cancer. He was a formidable opening bowler in the 1970s and 1980, and will be missed by many. His funeral is at 2.30pm on Thursday June 30th at Amersham Crematorium.
