Rob Sayer took 8-66 for Cambs against Bucks.

Off spinner Sayer, an occasional Peterborough Town player, bagged 8-66 from 25 overs in helpful conditions as Bucks were dismissed for 165 in their second innings yesterday (August 7).

That left Cambs requiring 146 for a second win in four Eastern Division matches and they scrambled home despite reaching 88-1 at one point.

Former Peterborough Town professional Paul McMahon and ex-Cambs skipper Paul McMahon returned to the side and claimed 3-13 and 2-39. He was also unbeaten when Cambs sealed a win which lifted them, temporarily at least, into second place.
