Match report by Paul D.
A fantastic 113 run victory for the Sloggers today against Hitchin!
Excellent all round performance from the kids. I was particularly happy with their fielding with some terrific saves in the field, a good stumping & a brilliant runout.
Bowling was solid with some very tight overs from Conran, Raff & Max followed by Kieran & Thomas who took 6 wickets in the final bowling partnership including a double wicket maiden from Kieran!
Batting - everyone contributed with the bat & the calling & running between the wickets showed a big improvement & put Hitchin bowlers & fielders under a lot of pressure. When the loose balls came, our batters were ruthless with Will C, Max, Sam, Conran, Will T & Thomas dispatching many balls to the fence (& over!)
A particular shout out to Sam (William T’s brother) who helped fill in as a replacement at the last moment)…he fitted in with the team tremendously well & bowled well, did a brilliant run out & smashed 5 boundaries including consecutive 6’s.
Thanks to Paul D for managing the game and Paul M for scoring
