Under 9As rise to the challenge to see off Fair Oak

Match Report by Fred Trinder:

Some great batting and bowling for Easton gives them first win of the season

Easton won the toss and chose to bowl first.
At first it seemed like a good call because Ted and Grant only gave away 7 runs in the first 4 overs, Ted bowling 2 maidens. The next bowling pair kept the score down and took the first wicket by Fred bowling an in-swinger.
The next pair, Ali and Sam, kept the bowling tight, with Ali bowling some quick away swingers. But it was Will R who took the next wicket, bowling out the Fair Oak batsman and Toby then joined the party with a wicket of his own. So Fair Oak had posted a positive total of 269.
Easton were in to bat and the first pair hit lots of runs including Ted who hit 14 runs off 3 balls and the next pair continued the rage. Fred hitting the boundaries and Will K keeping the score ticking along with some positive running. Ali and Sam also scored a few runs. Especially Sam who hit lots of 4’s and even one 6. The last pair, Will R and Toby, finished it off for Easton who claimed their first victory of the season by making a total of 284.

Player of the match: Sam Andrews, for his explosive batting.

Fred’s top tip: Always run positively by calling yes or no, sliding your bat in and also back up at the non-striker’s end.
