A slightly depleted Sunday XI made the trip to Bugbrooke's exotically-named Doc White Cricket Ground to find an eleventh player waiting for them in the form of Tony Malone, the home side's twelfth man.
Batting first, Castlethorpe's total of 188 was largely driven by a captain's innings of 68 from Jack Johnson, who had support from Ben Nightingale and late addition Russell Jones. However, the Castlethorpe total would have been far less were it not for a spirited last-wicket partnership from James Chantry and Ian Easton, who hit a career-best 22.
With runs on the board to defend, Castlethorpe would have fancied their chances had they not run into an in-form James Letts, who thrashed seven sixes on his way to a very fast 103. By that point, the game was already as good as over.
