Junior Games
The U11, U13s and U15s all had games over the weeekend. Well done to the sides without a full complement of players. An inexperienced U11 team had a loss in their outing to Temple Sowerby on Sunday in the league. The U13s were defeated by a older set of players against Glasgow Accies U13s at home on Sunday in the ECB Vitality U13 Cup and a Nunholm Nine made it a good contest at Stainton U15s in the Cumbria U15 League Cup with Cory scoring 58 not out as the side fell short.
