City remained in the hunt for honours this year
with a crucial 4 wicket win away at Newport Pagnell. Mo Shahid was
the pick of the bowlers as City restricted the hosts to 184 for 7.
Three useful knocks gave City the win as Abid Hussain (44*), Russ
Heady (36) and Raj Lall (34) saw us home.
Saturday 2nd XI
Woughton on the Green
Milton Keynes City 134 all out
Olney Town 70 all out
City won by 64 runs
It was more convincing for the two's as they
dismissed Olney at Woughton. Asked to bat first City posted what
looked like a insecure total of 134. Many players got in and got
out again, but Dave Loveland top scored with 25 and skipper Cas
Quarrie chipped in with 22 batting at number ten. Olney were truly
terrible, six batsmen were out for nought and extras top scored
with 36. The visitors skittled for 70.
Sunday 1st XI
Match Abandoned
Sunday 2nd XI
Woughton on the Green
Milton Keynes City 140 for 7
Wolverton Town 97 for 2
Wolverton won by 8 wickets (reduced target)
In a rain interuppted match, City were beaten by
old enemies Wolverton Town again. Jason Loveland and Raj Lall made
35 and 34 respectively but it did not look enough. Wolverton's
target was reduced as the rains came and they coasted home. City's
two unlikely wicket takers were Arnie and Timmsy.
