May 12th 2024, Lions U15 vs Titans U15
Today we had a great fun game against the Titans, and the U15 squads first win of the Season. We fielded 13 players today, but everyone got a go at bowling or batting (the U15 rules say that only 11 may bat, but if a team has a squad bigger than 11, the additional players must bowl or wicket keep and field).
Standout performances were from Sam (2 wickets and 24 runs), Juto (24 runs) and Mantra (7 runs and only giving 12 runs in four overs of bowling). Everyone else is improving noticeably too, with George starting to get comfortable wicket keeping, Jay getting his first wicket and James W. hitting one of his longest shots yet. Congratulations to Sam for being player of the match!
Stats: Highest scoring batsman : Juto & Sam (24 each), best batting strike rate : Sam (184), most wickets : Sam (2), best bowling economy : Tasuku & Jay (0).
