Match Report
Result: Won by 65 runs
The first round of the county cup was played on a warm, sunny afternoon. We lost the toss and were asked to bat first. Minster had a couple of useful opening bowlers, but Will L and Rory S started positively, with some good running between the wickets and the scoreboard moved along nicely. The change bowlers were not as accurate and the extras began to accumulate. Rory was unlucky to be bowled after the ball hit his pads first, but Will continued to dominate the bowling and soon reached his 50 and retired not out. Euan played some attractive shots and then Rory P and Josh N finished off the innings adding some further useful runs. We finished on 149 for 2 after 20 overs. Minster never looked like challenging our target, particularly with James F starting with 2 maidens. Charlie T picked up 2 wickets in consecutive balls and Euan and Will also picked up wickets. We bowled a few too many wides and will need to tighten up on that for the next games, but overall a very impressive performance.
