We welcomed Harpenden to the lower pitch on a very hot Sunday morning.
They won the toss and decided to field first. Our batting pairs all did a fantastic job, clocking up 115 runs between them. Notable scores from Emilia (26), Evie (25), Mimi (18) and Ella (13). We only conceded 2 wickets so our final run total was 105. That, plus their extras meant we finished on a competitive score of 343/2.
Our fielding was pretty awesome! 11 wickets really kept Harpenden's net score down. Imi's wicket keeping confidence is growing game by game and she kept the byes to a real minimum.
Notable fielding mentions include: Grace with a wicket maiden, a maiden over from Flo, a lovely caught and bowled by Poppy and a fantastic catch by Mimi. Ella really nailed her throw-ins with 2 brilliant run-outs from quite a distance. That, along with steady batting, earns Ella POM. Very well done Ella. Those throws were epic!!
Huge thanks to Colin for umpiring in such hot weather, Mark for being scoring buddy, Sarah for providing the girls with ice lollies at the end and for the support from all parents.
Our winning streak continues! Congratulations Hawks!
