First Match of the season for U15 girls took place on Tues 14 July against Maiden head and Bray. Wargrave won the toss and put M&B into bat. Good bowling performances by the girls resulted in us restricting them to 71 runs off of their 20 overs. Wickets for Debut Poppy Tulloch (2 wickets 4 catches), Amy Bennett (2 for 8 runs) and Ruth Payne (3 for 9 runs).
The girls put their heads down and executed a well worked plan to chase the target down in the 13th Over. Good performance by Ruth Payne, 30 not out which broke the camels back and allowed Millie, Georgia, Lara and Amy to score the remaining runs.
The season continues this week with more u15 games against Falklands and a return match against Maidenhead and Bray.
