Burnham B win Julian Cup Plate

12:25pm Thu 3rd Jul 08:: written by Graeme Copas

Burnham's second-string team lifted the Julian Cricket Cup Plate on Wednesday night after thrashing Holyport in the final by 88 runs.

The Bucks side, who lost in the first round of the main competition to North Maidenhead, smashed the village side for 228-6 from their 20 overs at Pinkneys Green CC, losing numerous cricket balls in the onslaught.

Imran led the way with 67 (retired), and he was well supported by Colin Sandler (38), Rizwan Nadeem (35) and Bashir (37).

In reply, Holyport were never really in the chase, and were eventually skittled for 140, with Burnham skipper Mo Asif taking 3-25.

Asif was delighted to have lifted the cup, saying: “Our 1st team has such a great record in the Julian Cup and Farnham Royal Cup, but not this year. So it’s great for the 2nds to bring home some silverware.

“It was a great team effort from a bunch of guys who have played throughout the tournament. I’m really happy to have won.”
