Thame’s 1st XI finally lost on Saturday 14th, after 19 unbeaten league matches stretching back into 2014, when they fell to a 6-wicket defeat away to Shipton-under-Wychwood.
Put into bat on a wet wicket, Thame’s batsmen struggled as they lost wickets regularly. Only Captain Higgs (58) and Garg (43) were able to get going as the side were dismissed for a below-par 177. On a drying wicket, Shipton scored more freely as Hemming, with 63 not out, led the way. Higgs (pictured right) took 3 wickets but Shipton eased over the line in 38 overs for the loss of 4 wickets.
