Cricket vs Worth

U15A Score a Big Win

On Saturday, the U15A Cricket team played Worth in their third Sussex League Cup game. With a busy week, and some of the U15s not available due to DofE, and exam commitments, several U14s and Bella from the U12s stepped in to help field a team. With Worth opting to bowl first, the openers of Orla and Dot headed out to the crease: it was a sloping wicket and it took a few balls for the girls to get used to it, but once they had played themselves in, it didn’t take long for the runs to start flowing. Both girls retired on 40 (Dot off 24 balls and Orla 38). Grace and Indigo followed, and Indigo was unlucky to get run out at the non-striker’s end. Grace managed 37* with help from Chloe (Yr8) at the other end, leaving us on a total of 195 off 20 overs.

It was then time to bowl. Tilly and Bella opened the bowling, and both took early wickets. With a few too many extras, the opposition got up to 45 before the next wicket was taken by Orla, followed but another, 3 from Grace, and 1 from Indigo.

The final total for Worth was 93, seeing Roedean win by over 100 runs. Well done!
