Thame Town produced three excellent sessions of cricket to eclipse a Burnham team that need to improve rapidly to avoid relegation in Home Counties Premier League Division 2 West.

Put in to bat, Thame got off to an excellent start thanks to Manoj Parmar (82) and 15-year-old Michael Beard (64).

On a difficult pitch, the pair laid the foundation for a formidable total with a partnership of 135 for the first wicket.

With the middle order all pitching in with useful contributions, Thame reached 241-6 from their 60 overs.

In reply, Burnham could not find any momentum on a pitch that didn't get any easier for batsmen.

Pacemen Luke Merry (5-58) and Sam Lachlan (4-41) were supported by some excellent catching and, in particular, some tidy work from Chris Mitty behind the stumps.

Burnham never came to terms with the accurate Thame attack and lost wickets at regular intervals to finish 111 all out in the 37th over.
