U14s do the double over St Margaretsbury winning by 5 runs

After watching the weather all day I would have put money on this game being called off. But no, it went ahead and although light was poor from start to finish we again pulled off a great win.

At the start of the day I only had a team of 10 men but with our U11 match being called off I was able to get young U10/U11 Bertie Warnes to join us along with his U12 brother Toby.

This was the definition of team effort to pull off a win against a solid St Margs team.
Our team only had 3 U14s!
5 U13s, 2 U12s and 1 U10/11.

We won the toss and elected wisely to bat first with the light already poor and only going to get worse. We needed a pink ball!
Matt Foster & Jared Bassingthwaighte opened the batting. Sadly Matt was Bowled early doors for 1. Jared went on to score 41 off 38 balls which included 6 Fours! Retiring Not Out.

2nd Innings

Thanks to Captain Matt Foster everyone got to take part in the match either by Batting or Bowling and he used 9 bowlers in total.

Wickets:

Matt Foster 2 WICKETS (12 Runs) (4 overs)
Murray Davidson 1 WICKET (13 Runs) (2 overs)
Kieran Surujbally 1 WICKET (14 Runs) (2 overs)

Great catches from Murray Davidson & Jared Bassingthwaighte especially in such poor light.

It was a really good match played n the true spirit of the game and ended up being very close at the end.

St Margaretsbury 120/4
