Another great game for the U15s, ending in another close but well managed victory.

Our bowling and fielding was tight and it was great to blood debutant Ted and U13 Callum, both of them performed excellently. Ted even managed to take his maiden wicket for Northchurch in his first ever over. Jacob was the pick of the bowlers, pegging back their dangerous hitters with some very consistent deliveries.

A steady flow of wickets, including some well held catches in the deep, meant that Levvy Green were restricted to 99 off their 20 overs.

With Ted going early, we got off to a ponderous start as Elliot and Olly felt their way in to the innings. However, they were soon finding holes in the field, despite some tight bowling. Just as Olly was looking to put his foot on the gas, he swung wildly at a straight one, with Elliot having gone the same way.

Raj and then Will came to the wicket and continued where the others had left off. With the batting going at 5 an over, matching the required rate, we were looking comfortable. 5 overs out, the pair decided it was time to accelerate, needing 25 to win, the bowling was pummelled, with Raj nearly taking out the rear window of a Range Rover with an enormous 6.

Will finished the match off with 3 overs to spare with another six that the fielder could only palm over the boundary, finishing a very enjoyable game.
