Two match reports again. Firstly Knaresborough on the 23rd June. Knaresborough are probably the strongest team in the league, although I was hopeful that with a good performance we could push them close. Unfortunately this wasn’t our finest hour of the season and we came well second by 44 runs.
There were some real positives though, firstly probably the best catch I’ve seen at U9s level by Jamie Halsall. Diving forward to catch a fast travelling ball that would not have carried to him, he took the catch inches, sorry centimetres, above the ground. Super effort that …. Richie!
Secondly, Harvey’s bowling was excellent taking 2 wickets both bowled!
Moving on to Whixley on the 4th July, Whixley elected to bat scoring 233-5. All the bowling and fielding was truly excellent, but worthy of special mention are Harry Tribe with 2-10 and Jack Stabler-Langan with 2-1 including a wicket maiden!
The batting was back to a more positive approach and we ended up running out winners at 290-4, with excellent batting by George Fordy (16), Ed Challis (11), Herb (16) and Jack (10) securing victory.
Unfortunately our old friend the run out was back in play, these being two of our 4 dismissals, although the understanding of backing up as non-striker is definitely improving.
Let’s take this forward to our match against Cundall on Monday!
