Tucker Division 2
Godmanchester II 155-9 Waresley 156-3
Waresley won by seven wickets
IMPRESSIVE bowling from Waresley's Nigel Buckingham-Jones and half centuries from Steve Warman (51) and David Sharp (56 not out) ensured that the visitors came away victorious on Saturday.
Godmanchester started reasonably well with Paul Berrill (20) and James Howells (22) opening brightly followed by Adam Cousins weighing in with 22 runs. Buckingham-Jones then went on to spoil the party by ripping through three middle order batsmen for just eight runs.
Wayne Bradley then stood strong to get 45 not out and restore hope for the home side before Buckingham-Jones took his sixth and final wicket of the day by forcing a catch from number eight Robert Howells.
