Another U13 match report
A new look U13 team with 4 players making their season
debuts took on a young and enthusiastic Newton Aycliffe team in our first home
game at the new Richmond School pitch.
Richmond bowled first and although Aycliffe scored freely
(helped by quite a few wides from our bowlers!) wickets fell regularly too so
that a score of 272 became a net score of 184 after 20 overs.
Pick of the Richmond bowlers were undoubtedly Patrick
Carlton with 2 wickets for just 1 run from his 2 overs and Sam Metcalfe with
3-8 from 3 overs of prodigious spin!
In reply Richmond batted steadily with the first two batting
pairs taking the score to 230-1 after 8 overs. Richmond then lost a few more
wickets in the middle overs (including a rarity – stumped off a wide!) as
Aycliffe never gave up in the field. The Richmond innings closed on 294-8 (net
230) for a 46 run win. Highlight on the batting front was undoubtedly Chas
Stephenson with some nicely timed shots to finish on 19 n.o.
