. Building on last weeks performance on the outfield at West Grove the 6 girls from last weeks team were joined by Tom and Henry (Tom making his Lions debut in some style and finishing as top Lions scorer).

Captain Zoya lost the toss and Ilford elected to field

Once again the Lions performance in the field was very creditable taking 7 wickets, a mix of smart fielding for run outs, some catches and some accurate bowling. Megan and Aniyah again took the gloves with some improved positioning in evidence too.

There was more confidence in the Lions batting but Ilford had some fine cricketers and in particular a couple of strong batting partnerships that swung the game towards the back end of the innings.

But a great mornings cricket and more progress for the Lions cubs.
