Under 13's v Lilleshall 3rd June 2009
This week Madeley u13's entertained local club
Lilleshall at our Park Street ground. After losing the toss Madeley found
themselves in the field. A good Lilleshall side were soon taking quick
singles pushing the score along at a healthy rate but our u13's all rolled up their
sleeves and got down to some excellent fielding and bowling. This week
special mention goes to the whole team for a great effort in the field and with
the ball.
The Players are C.Hodson, A Turner, N.Simms,
D.Simms, D.Bowdler, C.Patterson, J.Pratt, S.Weston, R.Woodman,
A.Sabin.
Lilleshall eventually scored 284 runs but with some
great run outs (A.Sabin), one handed catches (R.Woodman) they lost 40 runs due to
losing 8 wickets.
Madeley started well with A.Sabin looking nice and
straight and it was vital not to lose early wickets. C.Hodson (23) and D.Bowdler (20)
were the main run scorers for the home side and with C.Hodson scoring his first
maximum for the club the home side after their allotted 20 overs had scored 277
runs. As they had only lost 3 wickets 15 runs were deducted but left us on 262
and victory was
gained.
The whole team were an absolute credit to
themselves and all parents who attended and of course Madeley Cricket
Club.
Madeley are away at Newport next week
