Aylesbury v Amersham CC Sunday 1st X1 on Sun 17 Jul 2005 at
Amersham CC Won 157 Runs
Amersham saw themselves comfortably into the quarter finals of the Bucks cup with a 157 run win over Aylesbury.
Amersham won the toss and elected to bat first on a blistering hot day. Brothers Andy and Rob Viney made the most of the conditions making the Aylesbury fielders chase a lot of leather as they piled on the runs. Rob Viney dominated the early proceedings with the younger brother Andy playing a good supporting role. Rob quickly passed 50 and then carried on his savage attack on the bowling to pass 100 before Andy had reached 50. Rob Viney was eventually run out in the 28th over for 121 and the total on 187. Andy Viney and Chris Owen then carried on the onslaught adding 82 in 12 overs before Chris Owen was LBW for 34. John Andrews joined Andy Viney at the crease to push the score passed 300 and Andy Viney made his first senior 100 for the club ending up 118 not out as Amersham ended up 304 - 2 off their 45 overs.
Aylesbury were always going to struggle to pass such an imposing total and Jamie Toates got Amersham off to a good start taking 2 early wickets. The pick of the Amersham bowlers was David Mckay who took 3 for 17 of 6 overs as Aylesbury were bowled out for 147 from 31.5 overs.
