Apart from Steve Beck and James Gear, who have left to join Banbury Town and MK Park respectively, Jones will only be missing Anthony Romaine and Will Hearsey against Dinton.

Burnham were inserted by the Town skipper, James Gear, and batted in the same attacking manner as they did when they visited Bourton Road.
...
A seventh wicket stand of 35 gave Burnham another base from which to build before Nethula and Gear took a wicket each with only two runs added.
...
Jones played a patient knock as Gear joined him in taking the score past the century mark.When Gear (12) was dismissed, Jones attacked the bowling and reached a fine fifty from 82 balls in 100 minutes.The opener's aggression brought quick runs before he was bowled for an outstanding 70 runs, including twelve boundaries.

Winning the toss and electing to bat was not really what skipper Gear wanted, but Buckingham Town started steadily before Harris was well caught by Khaud for 22.The next 5 wickets then fell for 21 runs in a very disappointing spell for Buckingham Town.

The day was only rescued by a spirited performance from James Gear, who coming in at number 8 remained at 72 not out at close.Tight bowling and good team fielding by Banbury 20 confined Buckingham Town to 146 for 9 off their 50 overs.

James Ward fell for 18 but ex Buckingham skipper James Gear joined Wade and the pair took the score to 101 at tea but immediately after Wade was run out by a direct hit as they looked to push the run rate along.

Gear (38), Kamal Khan (27) and skipper Ed Packard (41) kept Park in the hunt but Burnhams new overseas star Zulfi Butt kept up the pressure with an excellent spell of spin.
