Aadi Sharma (68) and Ed Horsley shared a 123-run partnership for Bucks Men in their final warm-up match against Northamptonshire Academy at Tring Park on Sunday.

Former Sussex all-rounder Bertie Foreman also contributed 40 off 26 balls, including 24 from one over, as Bucks posted 348/9 from their 50 overs.

Matt Pardoe, formerly of Herefordshire, was bowled by Beaconsfield teenager Ben Taylor for 26, while Archie Dodds made a quickfire 30 from 17 balls in the closing overs.

Northants Academy's reply was led by two great knocks from Adam Fox (79) and Alex Corbett (73), but they ultimately fell short of the total. Foreman made his second significant contribution to the game by closing the innings at 264 in 49 overs, finishing with figures of 5-68 from his ten overs.


Scores: Bucks Men 348/9 (Sharma 68, Horsley 65) (Kochhar 3-60)

Northants Academy 264 (Fox 79, Corbett 73) (Foreman 5-68)


Thank you very much to Tring Park for hosting us, and best of luck to Northants Academy for the upcoming season.
