Match Report
NARKS PASTE POOR PRINCES
Wooburn Narkovians stayed near the top of the Chiltern League after a resounding seven wicket victory over Princes Risborough.
Inconsistencies in Risborough\s batting line up meant that only Avery (25), Smith (29) and Morton (34) could top the 20 mark, and that they could only manage a miserly 131-8.
The Narks took a strong hold on the game through Stuart Foster (59) and Ian Cuthbert (45), and they practically sealed Risborough\s fate with their opening partnership.
Risborough did manage to take three wickets, but this was never enough and Wooburn strolled to 135-3 and a comfortable seven wicket victory.
