Worcester Park CC - Under 12 vs. Ashtead CC A Team - Under 12

This week saw a trip to Worcester Park to see if we could keep our unbeaten league season on track. Ashtead won the toss on a cloudy morning and chose to have a bat first.

Batting

Graham and Goodin once again formed the opening partnership. Graham fired a quick 21 before being caught at mid on, Gooding unfortunately being trapped LBW early on. Arnett and Bates were both bowled by good deliveries leaving us at 31 for 4 going into the 6th Over. Fraser Ker with 15 and Crossan managed to rebuild the innings with a partnership of 49 in a 10 Over spell with Crossan top scoring with 33 before being bowled just before retirement kicked in. Brockes unfortunately clipped one to point, Jenkins was bowled but a useful 10 runs not out from Perkins and a run for a delighted Bunyard saw Ashtead to 108 for 8 after 20 Overs.

Bowling

We new 108 was a reasonable total but far from a certain winning score. The boys set an aggressive field early and executed their fielding very well saving many singles in the early overs and restricting the opposition to only 7 boundaries. 6 Bowlers were used and wickets were shared amongst all of them with 2 for Perkins and Crossan, 1 for each of Brockes, Jenkins, Mason and Bunyard supported by a couple of stumpings and a good catch by Bates. Top economy figures to Brockes with 1.5, 4 Overs, 2 maidens and 1 wicket for 6 runs, some very good bowling.
Worcester Park reached 66 for 8 after their 20 Overs.

Ashtead U12A won by 42 Runs
