Another close game for the U9s, this time at Ouseburn.
Skipper Harvey won the toss (that's a 100% record so far!) and elected to field.
Good all round bowling was shown with 6 of our bowlers each taking a wicket.
Ouseburn ended up on 297-7, which was proabably a few runs too many, although the boundary on one side was very short. That's a lot of wickets to take and if the coach could set a field we could probably have knocked at least 10 runs off that!
In reply George and William opened and ran some really good quick singles, although their understanding was not always perfect and this did lead to a couple of run outs!
Although the batting in the middle overs was a bit slow Ed Challis, with a quickfire 10 runs including a lovely 6 over long on got us close with 31 runs needed by the final pair.
Herb (19) and Jack (4) tried their hardest and we finished 8 runs short (289-3) with some decent Ouseburn bowling and fielding seeing them home.
The encoraging thing is we are not losing many wickets and I'm sure that if we can tighten up on a few aspects like our ground fielding and running between the wickets, more wins will follow.
Another good team effort lads and I'm sure we'll repay the compliment in the return match .
