U12C Cricket Victory vs Brighton Girls

On Wednesday, the U12C team took to the Roedean cricket astros for the first time ever! They were super nervous and full of questions, but excited to play, and they put their training into practice. We lost the toss, and went out to field first.

First innings:

We went out with the aim to stop boundaries and bowl straight. The team worked really hard at this, with Greta, Amyra, Ying, and Georgie all taking wickets. The team was determined to get the ball back to the wickets to prevent runs. The squad kept them down to 261. Batting next, and the team were excited to smash the ball around. Georgie opened the batting and managed to smash a 4 early doors, giving the team some confidence. A special shout out goes to Ying, for scoring three 4s in one over, and to Joy, for her enormous 6! We were up after the first innings, with 277 runs!

Second innings:

Miss Palmer-Jones

After a reflection from the first innings, the team was focused on attacking the ball and backing up. They did just that, with Paloma taking a wicket and a lot of dot balls. Brighton managed to put 267 on the boards this time round. Brighton were much more switched on this time, and they took a few more wickets from us, losing the second innings, with a score of 256.

With some quick maths and reflection on the game, it was Roedean who took the win by only 5 runs! What a great start to the season for the squad – they should be really proud of themselves. Fielder of the Game went to Tilly, and Batter of the Bame went to Ying. Coache's Player of the Game was Georgie for her communication in the field and when batting! Big things to come from this C team – keep your eyes peeled!
