A fabulous performance from the team who were desperate to avenge their crushing defeat in the JET tournament earlier in the season. Everybody upped their game, remained focused and determined and the resulting score speaks for itself.
Having won the toss we opted to field and Denstone were denied any opportunity to score by the exceptionally tight and accurate fielding. Hannah was bowling superbly, Immy picked up missed balls quickly and Cecily was remarkably sure handed!
There were not many chances for catches but those given were pounced on. There was some error of judgement of the ball flight as the deep fielders ran in too much for a high ball but quick reactions limited the damage to only a half rounder each time.
Going into bat, the girls quickly passed the 4.5 rounder target set by Denstone and seemed unstoppable with a score from the majority of balls hit. Denstone were lacking 2 of their key fielders but even with them I think our batting was accurate, hard and varied and the Denstone team would have struggled to growing confidence of the girls.
Denstone batted again and even with a couple of half rounders from no balls they only totalled 8 rounders from the 2 innings. Eleanor, Lucy, Emily, Izzy and Charlotte were on every ball, supporting each other and working as a well oiled team.
We batted again with as much vigour as the first innings and built our total up to 25.5 rounders. Hannah batted superbly, Cecily had great angles, Charlotte took the risks and it all paid off. An excellent performance. Well Done Team.
POM Everyone
