🏏 **Ladies Softball Match Report | Denver Ladies vs Snettisham Ladies** 🏏

On Friday 29 May 2026, Denver Ladies took on Snettisham Ladies in the Softball League.

After winning the toss, Denver elected to field first. Snettisham made steady progress throughout their innings, finishing on **103 runs**.

Denver produced a disciplined performance in the field, with some accurate bowling helping to keep the scoring under control. The highlight of the innings was a fantastic **caught and bowled by Laura**, showcasing quick reactions and safe hands, and leaving Denver with a very achievable target to chase.

In reply, Denver unfortunately lost wickets at regular intervals, something uncharacteristic of the side, which made building momentum difficult. Despite their efforts, Denver fell short of the target.

🌟 **Players’ Player of the Match:** Laura

A well-deserved award for her sharp fielding display and superb caught and bowled. 👏👏👏

Well played to both teams and on to the next one! 💪🏏

🏏 **Match Report | Denver CC 1st XI vs Horsford 3rd XI** 🏏

On a scorching Saturday afternoon (23 May), Denver 1st XI welcomed Horsford 3rd XI to the club.

After losing the toss, Denver were asked to field first. In challenging conditions, the bowlers kept things tight from the outset, restricting the scoring rate and gradually applying pressure. Wickets began to tumble as Denver backed up their bowling with an excellent fielding performance, holding their catches and making boundaries difficult to find.

James Smolen was the pick of the bowlers with impressive figures of **3-27**, while the remaining wickets were shared around the attack. Horsford were eventually dismissed for **160 all out**, leaving Denver confident they could chase the target down.

The reply got off to a shaky start with an early wicket, but **P Morton (46)** and **T Hobbs (32)** steadied the innings and put Denver firmly back in the contest. As Horsford fought back and wickets began to fall, **J Manning** dug in superbly, anchoring the chase when it mattered most.

With the pressure mounting, Manning found the boundary at the perfect time, striking the winning four with around seven overs to spare and finishing unbeaten on **23***. He was well supported by **A Hamilton**, whose calm and sensible batting helped guide Denver over the line.

✅ **Denver CC win by 5 wickets**

🌟 **MR Cricket Hockey Player of the Match:** James Smolen

A fantastic all-round team performance in tough conditions to secure another valuable victory on home soil! 💪🏏
