BUSCOT PARK CRICKET CLUB Lost by 7 wickets

Match report 2nd team league debuts for Ben Clink, Abinesh Yazhini, Harry Gordon, Albie Forbes and Alfie Gordon.
This equals the most debutants in a 2nd XI league game since 02 Jun 84 away at Calne 2 when 2nds had 11 debutants (being the 2nds 1st ever league game). Apart from the 1st ever league game, it is joint most debutants in a 2nds league game equalling 03 Jun 06 at home to Highworth, 28 Aug 21 at home to Swindon Super Strikers, 03 Jun 23 away to Langford 3 and 10 May 25 at home to Cricklade 2 when each time 5 players were playing their first league game for the 2nds. Not including 1995-1999 as no scorebooks available for those seasons.

Abinesh Yazhini scored 15 on debut.
Albie Forbes scored 21no on debut.
Albie's score of 21no as a number 10 batter has only ever been bettered by one other 2nd XI number 10 batter in an away league game which was Mike Heasman scoring 23 away to Buscot Park 1sts in 2024. As that game was played at Buscot Park, it means Albie's score of 21no is now the 2nds highest ever league score in an away game that wasn't played at Buscot Park beating 20 by Will Townsend away at All Cannings in 2009. The highest overall league score by a 2nd XI number 10 batter is 37 by Will Townsend at home to Bradford Town 2 in 2008.

The 9th wicket partnership of 42un by Rob Morbey and Albie Forbes is now the 2nds highest ever 9th wicket away partnership in the league, beating 41un by Herby Townsend and Mark Brown away at Calne in 1997. The overall best 9th wicket league partnership for the 2nds is 75 by John Devlin and David Kembrey at home to Cirencester 4 in 2024.

Ben Clink took his first league wicket for the 2nds with figures of 6-2-18-1
Alfie Gordon took his first league wicket for the 2nds with figures of 4-0-28-1
Albie Forbes took his first league wicket for the 2nds with figures of 4-0-19-1

2nd's all time league record against Charlton is now Played 7, Won 1, Tied 1, Lost 5.
