S.Anselm's 12 1/2 lost to Ranby House School 13
Player of the Match Lucy Edwards
A very close match which the girls really wanted to win and they upped their game accordingly. We lost the toss and went into bat first, and the girls pulled out all the stops and ran fast between the posts to notch up the half rounders. Ranby fielders were very good and quick to pick up the ball but the girls piled the pressure on and forced the errors. Hannah and Charlotte took a half rounder from each hit and Cecily effectively changed direction of her hitting. Ranby went into bat and umpiring decisions lead to upset in the team but they quickly overcame this and started to perform exceptionally well. Charlotte was incredibly quick on the pick up of well hit balls, Lucy was outstanding and took every catch that came her way, 2nd post was well covered by Izzy, Cecily and Emily and there was no miss-fielding at all.
The girls gave a fabulous batting performance in the 2nd innings and took every chance offered. Lucy scored from every ball and Eleanor and Annie forced important errors to score. Ranby went into bat needing 5 rounders to draw but the team were not giving an inch. Hannah’s bowling was spot on. Immy picked up well and was accurate in her throws to Cecily. A poor throw and slack fielding gave Ranby an early rounder but the girls stayed focused throughout and fought hard.
