U13 IAPS Cricket v Repton Prep (H) @ Woodhall Spa CC 1.15pm
Match Report
Result: Lost
On Monday we hosted Repton Prep School in the first round of the U13 IAPS competition. The game was played at Woodhall Cricket club on a lovely sunny day. Rory won the toss and elected to bat first. It was soon clear that Repton had a strong team, with all their bowlers challenging our batsmen. We lost a wicket early but Rory P played 2 lovely shots for 4 to get us going. Although Rory S accumulated runs quickly from one end, we lost wickets steadily at the other. We lost our 9th wicket on 93, but Jude bravely batted out 4 overs with Rory to get our total to 108 when we were all out at the end of the 24th over. Rory finished on a very impressive 73 not out.
Repton's two openers enjoyed the fast scoring conditions and played very well to reach the target without losing a wicket. An enjoyable game where I hope we learned a little about concentration and shot selection.
