We had an excellent turn-out on Friday for an 8-a-side match between the Chargers and the Defenders. The computer did not do a great job with the team selections – the Chargers’ 119 for 4 proving too many for the Defenders’ 77 for 4 but there were, from both teams, too many highlights to mention them all.

There was an age-range from three over-13s to three under-11s. The older ones – Jasmine, Rahul and Bill - managed a combined 48 runs and 2/28 but the younger ones – Nathaniel, Cameron J, and Lleyton matched them - 16 runs and 4/27. Jasmine’s personal figures, an undefeated 14 and 2/27 arguably pipping Lleyton’s undefeated 12 and 1/10 for the James Hallam Player-of-The-Match Award.

Everyone had their moments though and had positives to take away – the rookie scorers included!
