Under 13 East Belmont vs Leopold 15th Feb 2008

Leopold batted first, and despite being 1 for 0 in the first over, courtesy of a caught and bowled by Alex, amassed a formidable total of 6 for 141 off 27 overs.

Despite the total, East's bowlers did perform extremely well given the fact the ground was very fast. Sam was the most successful bowler taking 2 for 8, Alex, Cody and Dylan taking 1 wicket each, with Keegan throwing in well to execute a run out. Others who bowled tightly were Gav, Starky and Keegan.

The run chase started briskly thanks to some hard hitting and good running between wickets by Alex and Hayden and after 4 overs, the score was 0 for 38. This pair set the trend, as all batsmen remained aggressive (without being silly) with positive strokeplay and running between wickets throughout the innings. East finished with 5 for 172. Alex top scored with 34no (3 sixes & 2 fours), with Cody 25no, Sam 21no and Keegan 15no also contributing well.

In finishing - a great run chase - an even better TEAM performance.

Next week we travel to Anglesea (Ellimatta Reserve #1) for the second last home and away game. Remember to leave early as it is 30 minutes in travel time to get there.
