u9 Cricket 'v' Sunninghill - away - Return approximately 4.30pm.

TEAM:

James Bridge, Jonathan Burrows, Calum Harvey, John Hodder(c), Declan Kinsella, James Bayley, George Chapman, Charlie Houghton, Calum Nott, Johnathan Haynes.

What a fabulous display from our boys in an extremely exciting game.  The two sides were evenly matched and the spectators were treated to good bating, accurate bowling and some super fielding.  We won the toss and elected to field first, George Chapman, John Hodder and Johnathan Hayes all took wickets; whilst Charlie Houghton as wicket Keeper showed quick thinking taking two while the batter was out of crease.  However, our start fielder was Declan Kinsella with 4 wickets in the last over.

After tea it was our turn to bat and while we scored steadily we were also losing wickets.  As the last over of the match arrived we were 9 runs behind; Charlie Houghton hit the first ball for a quick single leaving John Hodder to face the bowler.  The very next ball went for 3 and our watching players could hardly contain themselves 4 more needed.  Next ball for another 2 and everyone was jumping up and down in anticipation.  As the noise abated John steadied himself and yes!, the very next strike sent the ball for another 2 and we just won the game by a single run 189 against 188.

What a fabulous display of team work from these youngsters, supporting each other throughout and clapping and cheering good performances from their opponents.  Player of the match Declan Kinsella and John Hodder.
