In an exciting last-match scramble for points at the top of
the U15 league table, Bashley (Rydal) U15 have clinched a win at Beaulieu with
sufficient points to reclaim to top spot
Bashley went into the match knowing that they needed a win
and 16 points to secure the place at the top of the South League.
Despite the loss of an early wicket and some very economic
bowling from Beaulieu’s M. Pooley, Bashley’s batsmen found their form and batted
steadily, securing a final score of 157 for 2, (equating to 6 batting points)
and solid performances from J. Gaunt ( 32), M. Clark ( 42 retired), J. Harris (
37 not out) and T. Saunders ( 20 not out)
In reply, Beaulieu’s openers batted confidently, holding
pace with the run rate initially. Eventually, the breakthrough came : a
stunning one-handed catch followed by 2 wickets for J. Gaunt, and wickets from
T. Saunders, S. Presland, Chloe-Ann Anderson, E. Whiting and D. Hart held
Beaulieu to 79 for 9 after the full 18 overs.
Full credit to Beaulieu U15 for their sportsmanship in being
supported by some younger players.
So with 19 points from the match, Bashley’s average returned them to the top of the table, and
they now progress to the League Play-offs being hosted at Bashley this coming
Sunday.
We are delighted to have one of our Junior Squads
represented at Finals Day. Well done Guys and Girls !
