Rounders Roundup - Saturday 16th May

Under 11A - Abberley v Dean Close - Match abandoned

Dean Close won the toss and put us into bat, and after a slow start the girls started to score. Katja, Olivia, Annabel, Anna and Katie all added whole rounders to our 1st innings score of nine in thirty balls. Dean Close started their innings very slowly and good fielding meant that Katja got the first player out at second post. However the rounders started to come and despite scoring less whole rounders than Abberley the opposition achieved lots of halves and when rain stopped play the game was evenly balanced at 11 - 9 to the home team.
A promising performance from the U11's.

Henrietta was captain and Dean Close won the toss and batted first, they had powerful hitters and scored 2 rounders staight away. Olivia .C. stumped out a player at 3rd post but they continued to bat well and scored 6 1/2 rounders some from our no -balls.

After a sharp shower of rain and a short break, Abberley batted, some good hits by Henrietta and Phoebe enabled us to score a few half rounders, Dean Close fielding brilliantly to stop us getting full rounders, and a couple of no -balls another half ,and on our last bat Henrietta scored a great rounder, bringing our score to 3.

The heavens opened again and Dean Close deemed the ground too slippery to be safe so the match was abandoned.
Well played everyone
