Tonight saw the U11 first victory in the League over Blythe CC. Blythe batted first and within the first two overs a wicket was taken by Jess Reason. Following that a few good overs in particular George Gibson in his debut game completed a maiden over in his first over and took a wicket in his second. Although bowling was tight a few too many wides sneaked in and Blythe ended their innings on a total of 36. However with the 5 wickets off Blythes net score was 11. Caverswall felt confident going into bat. George Gibson and Sam Barker the only U9 to play this evening opened the innings and with super confident running ended their 4 overs on 21. George in particular hit 10 not out! Next pair held onto the lead which saw a fantastic 4 hit by Oliver Hulme. Next pair in took the batting to another level and put 30 runs on the board, James Gibson after feeling the pressure of his younger brother doing so well stepped up To the challenge and finished on 23 not out. The final pair steered the ship home with no loss of wicket and Caverswall took the win by 59 runs.
An excellent team performance by all and in particular to the Gibson brothers.
