U13 ECB Boys’ Indoor Softball County Cricket Semi-Final (H)
Match Report
Result: Won both games
We hosted the semi finals of the boys 8-a-side indoor cricket competition. Our first game was against Bourne Grammar school. Josh won the toss and asked Bourne to bat first. Rory P started with an excellent over conceding only a couple of runs. This was followed by tight overs from Sam and James before George P picked up the first wicket via an excellent one handed catch from Sam. We continued to bowl really well and Bourne only scored 38 off their 8 overs. James, Josh and Rory then batted very sensibly to get us to the target in 6 overs, Josh F also chipped in with runs at the end. Bourne then won against Thomas Meddlecott School meaning we needed to beat them to qualify for the final.
We batted first against Thomas Meddlecott and all the batsmen scored freely, with Rory S, Josh N, George P and Sam all retiring (Sam scored his 15 runs of 3 balls!) We scored an impressive 138 for 1 off 8 overs. When we bowled George P clean bowled 4 batsmen in one over for 0 runs, including a hat trick. There was also a run out in the over. We quickly completed a comprehensive victory and will now play in the county final after half term.
