Backstop – Tilly S
Bowler – Holly D
Fielders: Katie M, Laura M, Amber H, Tara O’R, Miriam A, Natalie G, GraceT.
The weather proved to be favourable for this, our 2nd scheduled game of the term. We had been due to play a triangular fixture against Ranby and St. Mary’s, but the latter failed to turn up, so we enjoyed two full innings against Ranby instead. Having lost the toss, we found ourselves batting first and were quite slow to adapt to the Ranby bowler. We did keep scraping the halves though, particularly when we had a behind hit and after some solid fielding found ourselves two rounders ahead at half time.
Our batting really took off in the second innings, with Natalie G testing the fielders and seizing an opportunity to score our only full rounder of the game. Amber H, Tara O’R, Grace T, Holly D and Laura M all batted well, to score plenty of half rounders. Katie M grew in confidence and really enjoyed playing in her first ever rounders match for the school, playing well despite being a year young. Miriam A made some super stops in the deep and Tilly S handled the behind hits very well, with accurate throws to 2nd post. The girls kept it very tight when fielding in the 2nd innings, with Holly D in particular playing superbly. Her bowling was accurate and she was very quick to react to balls, collecting them and stumping four Ranby players out in a row.
Well played everybody, a tremendous first match result! Thanks to everybody who came to support the girls.
