Match Report U13 NYACC fixture v Darlington


Richmondshire 131 for 2 ( S Winter 33*, M Price 30*, R Ray 2-7) beat Darlington 74 for 2 (W Hamilton 27*, T Harniman 20*) by 57 runs.
 
An excellent win this, Richmondshire batted first, Darlington were clearly at least a couple of bowlers short as four of their bowlers bowled the maximum four overs, Rishabh Ray bowled very well indeed but the others struggled to keep the scoring rate down against a strong home batting lineup.
 
When Darlington batted, they never got near the required scoring rate, their openers lasted 16 overs before the coach decided to retire them short of the scoring limit. All the Richmondshire team bowled, the performance in the field was excellent, aided by Sam's field setting, with easy singles closed off and the boundaries also well patrolled, in particular by Toby.
 
There will be matches when we won't have all our gifted batsmen available, if we bowl and field like we did in this match, we should  also be able to win matches with smaller totals.
