U11 C2 Cricket vs Aldwickbury
On Wednesday afternoon, the Colts C2’s played Aldwickbury, who won the toss and elected to bowl first. This choice proved a good one as their bowlers stopped our batsmen getting a good start and they also kept their extras to a minimum while picking up important wickets along the way. Three of our batsmen did get into double figures with Mark Z getting 11, Armaan S getting 16 and Henry W hitting an impressive 17 runs. We finished with a total of 108 for 7.
Our bowling was mixed throughout, and any wide balls and no balls were punished by Aldwickbury – something that we can learn a lot from. Henry W finished with our best bowling figures, but I cannot fault the effort our boys gave in the field, in what was a hot afternoon on Willsfield. Another notable mention goes to Dan S for his work behind the stumps and his remarkable run out.
Unfortunately, we lost by 22 runs but as discussed afterwards, this is just above a run an over, so it highlighted how every ball matters in cricket – no matter what stage of the game we are at. This will go down as one that got away, against a very good opposition but learnings can be taken from it for the rest of the season.
Well done, boys.
