U12A Superb at Windlesham

The U12A team took on Windlesham House School in their first official Hardball fixture of the term.

Roedean won the toss and put Windlesham in to bat, fancying a chase. Windlesham opened up well and managed 16 runs off their first pair. Chiara and Sorcha then stemmed the runs and brought them right back with 3 wickets and limiting the scoring. The remaining bowlers kept Windlesham at bay, with constant wickets and some good catching too. Windlesham set Roedean 276 to chase and, after a good team talk and strategy session, the girls confidently took to the crease.

Sorcha and Matilda hit a blistering 21 runs in the opening partnership, with some lovely drives through cover. Yasmin and Naomi came in and carried on the scoring, ensuring we remained on-target. The final pair of Chiara and Lili needed a positive runs score to seal the win and absolutely smashed it to all parts, scoring an impressive 26 in their three overs. Roedean took the win and move onto Hurst next week.
