U10s win at Hoddesdon

The rain stopped for the evening and the Under 10s managed a comfortable win at Hoddesdon in their Incrediball league. Hoddesdon won the toss and decided to bowl first.

Ridley and Thomas opened the batting very solidly and put on 34 for the first pair with Thomas hitting a lovely boundary off his legs. Hari and Arthur started their four overs with Hari hitting the first ball through square leg for 4 and added 43. James and Adi added another 20 and final pair Oli and Max finished with an additional 31. They scored 328 for 1 which was a great score and reflected solid batting and good running between the wickets.

The bowling performance was also very impressive and Hoddesdon were limited to 193/12. The fielding was excellent, and it was great to see how the team have learned to back up extremely well in the field after all that practice on Sundays! There were 5 run outs including two direct hits by Ridley and Oli. Ridley also managed a stumping off Hari's bowling. Well done to James and Ridley who took two wickets each with Ridley being a whisker away from a hat trick! To underline the great bowling performance Adi finished the innings with a wicket maiden.
