U10s Away v Hemel

Great to see another group of Northchurch cricketers making their debut last night. Individually there were some excellent performances, tight fielding, accurate bowling, well held catches and sweetly struck boundaries, but they also played fantastically well as a team, considering their lack of experience. Congratulations to Jack Woodstock who put in a very solid performance behind the stumps for the first time.

We ended up 10 runs short in an exciting run chase, finishing on 263, to Hemel’s 273, a very creditable performance, given that they are in the league and have been playing for a couple of years.
