The U9s completed their season on Monday with a home game against Ouseburn. With an outside chance of making the play-offs we knew that we had to play well against an Ouseburn that had been consistent all season.
Losing the toss, Ouseburn asked us to bat and on a slow wicket and outfield we struggled against an accurate bowling with only 4 wides bowled all innings. Ed (13) and Jack (9) were our best batsman, but our 234-6 never really like a winning total.
William with 2-8, Joe and Harry Tribe all took early wickets and at 191 Ouseburn looked like they might struggle to recover. However, our bowling attack was not as consistent and we bowled 17 wides, this being the main difference between the sides with Ouseburn posting a winning total of 258-4.
Two outstanding bits of fielding worth mentioning, a one handed “reflex” catch by wicket-keeper Herbie and a superb “diving forward” catch by Jack, similar to Jamie’s a few weeks ago…
So ends a really enjoyable season which has seen great improvement in the team.
It was a shame we didn’t make the play-offs, but that gives us something to aim for next season!
Thanks to all the players and parents for your support this year!
