Tate was wicket keeper and he did a sterling job. Saving the ball from gaining runs with only a couple of byes.
They scored 268-3 runs in all.

Batting.

Toby opened the batting with a host of 4's and only losing 5 runs by attempting a dilshan! dropping his total to 18 and that have him top batsman score of the game. Luca opened with Toby with an impressive 11 runs made up of one wicket one no ball and 3 balls that went for 4.
Matthew and Bertie our youngsters were in next. Bertie also got 3 balls over the 4 boundary and sadly got run out so -5 he loved the no balls that he created some good runs from ! Matthew also batted well with 3 balls hitting the boundary a few 1's and 2's taking him to a grand score of 15. These two boys played really well together. Certainly a good pair to have together in the u 9's games.
Next in we had Matthew C and Sam, Matthew took a few risks with his running and Sam didn't back up very well which lost us a few points. -15 in total for this pair. Matthew racked up 4 x 4's and a couple of singles. sad that he have away 2 wickets. Sam managed to end on -10.
Tate and George went in last and Tate looked after George brilliantly. They went in knowing that they needed to just really defend and stay in positive figures. Tate got 2 runs and defended the ball well Sam didn't get any runs they completed the job they went in to do. We won with 284 runs to their 268 which was great. The boys all had fun and it was a lovely game to watch.
