U9 Eagles 🦅 Vs Lindow C.C.
📰🏏 MATCH REPORT🏏📰
Our Eagles soared to a convincing first victory at Lindow, with a brilliant all round team effort.
Dhani got us off to a flyer with a crisp six off the first ball. He immediately followed with a powerful strike to the boundary. This and some good running with Finlay laid the platform.
Eddie - our captain - and Ethan built on this with some composed batting. A well watched and controlled leg side paddle from Eddie, and a lovely cover drive from Ethan being their innings highlights.
Adam - who displayed elegant technique at bat - was paired next with Austin, who also batted well. Tasked with helping the team gain quick singles, Austin understood the assignment. The pair kept the momentum, stealing several runs that - by law - should have been dot balls to the keeper!
The wagon wheel ran out of spokes for Aaryan. He dispatched the opposition bowlers to all parts of the ground with some BIG shots. Jimmy ably supported and unleashed a delicious off-drive. More of this next time please Jimmy!
Defending 283, the team were relentless in the field. Early encouragement led by the skipper Eddie was infectious. The players showing support and encouragement to each other is vital to lift spirits and performance. And it showed today.
Twelve wickets from our bowlers and two run outs in the field was an incredible return.
Jimmy, Austin and Aaryan with one each. Eddie, Fin and Dhani each with two. Everyone played their part but pick of the bowlers was Adam with very special figures of 2 overs, 1 maiden, 3 wickets for 1 run.
The bowling performance was supported well by safe hands. Catches from Eddie and Ethan, and a superb caught-and-bowled from Dhani saw Lindow finish well short of the target with 233.
Very well played boys and thanks to the parents who made the trip and showed their support.
