Home Counties Premier League - Div 2 West
Luke Merry's 5-56 was the highpoint for Thame Town as they inched to a draw at home to Burnham.
Merry was well supported by the spin of Jaydeep Bhatti (3-49) as Burham made 225-9 in their 60 overs, with Aftab Khan hitting 105.
Manoj Parmar (28), Matthew Higgs (26), Merry (17) and Michael Beard (13) were the only Thame batsmen to reach double figures as they crawled to 116-8.
Thame Tn 8pts, Burham 14

There’s nothing King Couer-de-Loup likes more than a good battle: “We’ll march on King Florizel’s wet and wicked army,” he proclaims. His Queen is not so sure, however. She would rather her husband stayed around: there’s the christening of their daughter Princess Aurora to arrange for a start. And he certainly can’t go out and fight looking like that: “Your chain mail’s got a ladder in it,” she wails.
