We travelled as a 7 pair team for a 3 overs a pair game.
Fergus won the rock paper scissors again!
He and Rupert opened our batting and scored 23 for 2.  Rupert hit a big 6 and Feregus a 4.
Kitty and Alicia were next in and the girls scored 17 for 1.
Tabitha and Gemma were next and scored 3 for 4, too many run outs, but Tabitha scored a 4.
Birthday girl Ela and Megan were next in and scored 5 for 3, Megan hitting a 4.
Camilla and Isla scored 9 for 2.
Jude and Noah scored 4 for 2.
Edward was last in with Fergus and they put on 21 for 1 with Edward hitting a 4.
Our final score was only 82 as we had lost 15 wickets and therefore 75 runs!

We set Alford a target of 83 to win off 21 overs so they only needed 4 an over.
Their first pair scored 14 for 1 with Rupert bowling  their batter.
Their next pair scored 17 without loss but Kitty was very economical.
Their 3td pair scored 13 for 1 with Alicia getting a player caught by Rupert.
Their 4th pair scored 24 for 3, but Isla, Ela and Jude all took a wicket bowled.
Their 5th pair scored -4 for 4 with Rupert getting another wicket 1st ball caught by Fergus. Edward bowled a player and Noah got a bowled and a runout.
With 5 overs left they required 19 from 5 overs, so still around 4 an over… however, this is where the game turned.  Kitty took a wicket maiden, Tabitha a wicket for 1 run and Gemma only conceded two singles for a net minus 7 we were now ahead of the game.
Alford required 26 from 2 overs.  Megan conceded a 4 from her first ball… but then they couldn’t score a run and Megan bowled the player.
Alicia stepped up for our final over and despite conceding 12 runs we won by 14 runs.
A great bowling performance, especially from the girls, brought us a super win after some poor running.
