The under 11s played their first home game of the season against Darlington RA at Gilling West.  Darlington RA batted first and all the Richmond bowlers were very good maintaining a good line and length on a pitch with little bounce.  Wickets were taken by Jonathan Carlton 2 wickets for 5 runs, Toby Newton 1 for 4 and the pick of the bowlers Jordan Forbes 4 for 7.  There was also an excellent one handed catch by Jonathan Carlton and a fantastic effort at a catch by George Spink.  Darlington RA finished on a net score of 185.

Richmond generally batted well throughout although runs were hard to come by early on.  Top score was shared by George Spink and Tom Dowson with 9 runs each.  There was also even a reverse sweep by Jordan Forbes off the RA's spinner.  Richomnd ended up with a net score of 226 runs and won by 41 runs.

Great team effort by all the boys.
