In reply, Buxton got off to a fine start, running well early and punishing the bad ball. Buxton found themselves 123-1 after 26 overs. Ben Marsden 50, Ram 48*. Unfortunately for the home side, the rain slowly started and the over rate even slower, meaning the game was abruptly abandoned by the umpires for rain. A tough result for the Bucks who seemed to be heading towards the full 22 points. Buxton go again next week at home, hosting fierce rivals, Glapwell Colliery.
The 2nd XI took the win with two fantastic personal performances. Zia Ul Islam scoring 56 & Lucas Tattersall taking 4 wickets. Buxton won by 4 wickets against Ashford in the Water. Ashford 172 for 8 off 45 overs. Buxton 176 for 6 off 39.1 overs.
