The U11s played their first game against Hemheath at home on Monday evening. Skipper James Gibson won the toss and elected to bowl, this was the first hard ball game for 7 of the players so it was always going to be tough. The first 2 overs started well with only 6 runs from it, however Razzaq got his eye in and finished on 20 not out. The second pair to come to the crease moved the score further with Atkinson 27 not out. Half way mark Hemheath were 260-0. Some super bowling from Jess and Ed kept the score from increasing, and our first wicket came in the 14th over from skipper James Gibson. Hemheath finished their innings on 286 minus the 5 for the wicket leaving a grand total of 281.
Caverswalls batting innings didn't get off to the best of starts with two early wickets however tonights game was a learning curve, a starting point of where to progress to. The next four batsman struggled to get the ball of the square. The final pair (the big guns) came to the crease and put on 14 between them, James Gibson scoring 6 not out and Tom Bunn 8 not out. Caverswalls innings closed on 226 minus the 35 for the loss of wickets giving a grand total go 191.
Unfortunately the teams first loss but a fantastic effort by all who played.
