Bury St Edmunds travelled to Swardeston the 2023 Thurlow Nunn Premier League winners on Saturday, the home team won the toss and started like the proverbial train with captain Lewis Denmark throwing caution to the wind he scored 72 of 100 runs in just 33 deliveries by the 10th over this was a strange game Alistair Allchin in the 11th over took 3 wickets all top players Denmark for 72 Jordan Taylor (29) and former Bury player Callum Taylor (1) the next over Alex Cruickshank had Alfie Cooper bowled for 0 as the game took a dramatic change. Josh Cantrell came on to bowl his spin in the 19th over taking his first wicket by which time the runs had dried up as Cantrell took two further wickets including that of Saranga Rajaguru for 28 taking the score to 154.7 in the 25th over Ben Whittaker chipped in with a wicket before Cantrell finished the innings with the excellent figures of 5.13 off 6.3 overs. Allchin with 3.43 had made the break through.
This should have been a win for Bury St Edmunds going hard from the start has served them well for much of the season but not this time Alex Maynard (4) Nikethan Radhakrsihan (0) were both out caught and Jack Howland bowled by an excellent delivery from Adam Todd with the score at 6.3. The task became that much harder credit to Max Whittaker and Cantrell who took the score to 53 before Cantrell played on for 24 off Rajaguru. Tom Rash battled on with Whittaker who was out for 46, Allchin provided some resistance being 9th out for 10 on 131 but Rash who had played gamely was out for 27 off 47 deliveries as Bury fell 31 runs short.
