Our 7 players put up a great effort against the 6 players of Buckhurst Hill . We fielded first and were tight in the field conceding less than 20 runs from the bat. There was good backing up and more calling in evidence which was good to see and positioning and concentration were better.
There were wickets for Zoya, Megan, Aniyah and Sumayyah.

But we conceded over 80 runs in wides and no balls and ultimately despite a really positive batting display with some great running between the wickets and a great partnership of 25 by Megan and Aniyah the fact that their extras total was around half ours was probably the deciding factor on the day. Special mention to Zac and Anya who have not been playing long and who batted together nicely and Zoya too who was unphased by batting with several partners at the end to complete the innings hitting some crucial late order boundaries. And another good all round performance for Pru Benjamin who its easy to forget is still only a couple of months into her cricket career too!

So some great positives to take from this game and a growing confidence amongst our young players. Now its time to work on a little more accuracy in our bowling and we will be a match for anyone.
