Under 11 Match Report
From our Barton based correspondent:
U11 vs Barnard Castle cup game - away at Barnard Castle
Barnard Castle won the toss and elected to bat. Yet
again our bowling and fielding proved to be our strong point with excellent
bowling from everyone and fantastic wicket keeping from Tom Wooff. The
first two bowlers - Max Percival & Tom Van Niekirk - only going for 10
runs. Will Shaeffer & Owen Wetherill kept the score low too with Owen
getting the first wicket of the day, 2-0-7-1. The next four overs saw two
more wickets fall - a fantastic run out and a catch by Tom Van Niekirk. More
wickets fell in the next three overs, Andrew Ralph and Jake Percival both
having figures 3-1-7-1. Leaving Barnard Castle restricted to 266 for 6
(236 net).
Jake & Tom Van Niekirk opened the batting and quickly
knocked up a score of 241-0, Jake hitting three 4's to finish on top score of
16. Jack Van Niekirk and Owen Wetherill kept the score ticking over to
finish 253-1 at the end of their four overs. Next came Andrew Ralph and
Will Shaeffer, both played defensively only losing 1 wicket in their
overs. Freddie and Max Dale worked hard to keep the runs coming with Max
hitting a fantastic 4, unfortunately for them they faced Barnard Castle's best
bowlers and conceded 3 wickets. The final pair of Tom Wooff and Max
Percival continued to work well together, Max hitting a 4 and Tom managing to
get dropped THREE times during his innings!
Richmondshire finishing on 294-6 (264 net), winning by 28
runs.
Yet again, a fantastic team effort from everyone. Well
done! Many thanks to Louise Wooff who arranged the game in Darren's absence
and Jim for coming along to umpire.
