u13 Girls beat Kidderminster

Jez Ward

A successful start to the season continued at Kidderminster last night

Our u13 girls made a winning start to their season, with no more than 5 hard ball league debutants in the side.

Losing the toss, Earls were put into bat and each pair made a contribution. Holly & Marissa opened, making a great start with 17 on the board and no wickets lost. In came Sophie & Megan and they continued the scoring with another 16 - no wickets lost. The third pair of Rosie & Lilian added another 14, before Emily & Daisy topped up the score with a further 29, with Daisy taking on their county bowler with a 6 from the last ball.

With the light fading, Rosie opened the bowling and took a wicket with the 2nd ball of the innings, putting Kiddi on the back foot from the off.

Sophie & Marissa took over, with tight bowling, and the latter taking a wicket on debut. Next up were Lilian & Holly, again keeping things tight. Holly took 4 wickets in 7 balls on her debut too, pegging Kiddi back again, including a superb caught behind from Emily with the gloves. Half way and we were 9 ahead.

Daisy proceeded to bowl 2 maiden overs alongside more tight bowling from Megan & Marissa against the 3rd pair.

Needing 38 to win from the final pair, Emily, Rosie & Megan saw off the final 4 overs to wrap up a 10 run victory.

The commitment from all with bat, ball & in the field was amazing to see and we all left the ground feeling very proud.

Player of the match was Holly Jamieson, who took 4 key wickets mid innings to put us on the right path.
