Studley Royal A U 11's v Pannal Ash U 11 ’s
Pairs
This was our first venture into pairs cricket at a junior level as our Under 11's team came up against a strong Studley side. The game was played in their picturesque Deer Park ground which proved somewhat difficult to find for a few parents of the team, however, after a few telephone calls to guide people to the ground, we managed to gather a full team together.
Pannal Ash skipper, Jake McNulty, managed to continue the losing streak at the toss and the Studley Royal captain decided to bat.
In these pairs games all the players have to bowl a minimum of two overs, so we started off with
Callum Townend and Josh Dorwood bowling in tandem in their first ever game of competitive cricket.
They both did excellently against an experienced opening pair with Daniel Crewe (18) looking particularly impressive.
The next bowling pairing of Jake McNulty and Joe Mercer bowled similiarly well against their pairing of Joe Bramley and George Pearson. The partnership of Sam Harrison (1 for 5) and Will Eardley (2 for 5) bowled particularly well, before the most inexperienced pairing of Christian McDermott and
James Dobson completed the bowling. The Studley innings closed at a total of 251.
In reply, the inexperienced Ash team were led off by Will Eardley (7) and Josh Dorwood (1) who did nicely against their more experienced foes. One thing we must learn quite quickly is that every time a player is out we lose 4 runs from our total, and a couple of unnecessary run-outs detracted from our total. There was also an impressive contribution from Jake McNulty (6) as the Ash total closed at 190.
The best bowling was from Patrick Moon (2 for 10) and Edward Corps (2 for 3).
This was an excellent performance in our first ever game at the under 11's (pairs) level and we showed, in flashes, plenty of potential.
Unfortunately next week we have a free week, but it will give us an opportunity to put in some practice, particularly on running between the wickets, which was the cuase of our downfall on a number of occasions.
