🏏 JUNIOR CRICKET WEEKLY ROUNDUP! 🏏
It’s been a proper mixed bag weather-wise this week, which went hand-in-hand with our results! It was a massive week of cricket, including our second home double-header of the season. Here is how the teams got on:
🔹 Sunday: Under 11s vs Winnington Park Hartford (Home - Cup)
The weather looked grim, and 30 minutes before start time it looked like a washout. But the rain cleared, the covers came off, and it was game on!
Alex lost the toss and the opposition chose to field. Alex and George opened the batting with serious aggression, setting a partnership of 37 runs with 6 boundaries in total (including a monster 6 from Alex!). Sasha & Jemima, Jack & Ezra, and Pippa & Jocelyn kept things tight and protected their wickets brilliantly, losing just 4 in total. Quick running kept the scoreboard ticking over to set a target of 257.
Our stunning bowling and fielding performance took a whopping 12 wickets to protect the target!
• Wickets: 2 each for Sasha, Pippa, and Jack; 1 each for Alex, Ezra, and George.
• Fielding: 3 run-outs, including an excellent direct hit from Jack!
A fantastic team effort that won us the tie. Well done, team! 👏👏👏
🔹 Sunday: Under 9s vs Winnington Park Hartford (Home)
Completing our Sunday double-header, we welcomed Winnington Park's U9s to the top of the field. Despite a slight mishap with track positioning and the best attempts of the English summer weather, we got the game played! It was a great match enjoyed by both sides. Oliver and Isaac were in the wickets, while Mila, Archie, and Indie smashed some great boundaries. The result went Winnington’s way this time, but brilliant effort all round!
🔹 Tuesday: Kingsley Girls vs Chester Boughton Hall (Away)
Our girls travelled to Chester and secured another fantastic win on the road! Keep going, girls! 🏏🎉
🔹 Wednesday: U15s vs Warrington (Home)
It’s been a tough season for the 15s with opposition availability, a smaller squad than we’d like, and unkind weather contributing to little game time. However, with a little help from our friends at Oulton Park, it was game on. Sadly, the result didn’t go Kingsley’s way, but a great knock from Will (20 runs off 21 balls) was the standout from our home-grown batters. Wickets for Sam and Hari helped keep things much closer than it looked like it was going to be and there were three kids making their 15’s debut from the 13’s. Well played to both teams!
🔹 Wednesday: U9s vs Winnington Park (Away)
Meanwhile, over in Hartford, our U9s were playing some by-now familiar foes! Winnington sent their representative side straight from their successes in the South Cheshire Cricket League. It was a tough task for our fledgling cricketers, but a fantastic showcase of what hard work and dedication can achieve.
We were sharp in the field with excellent stops and boundary prevention (lessons learned from Sunday!), plus a brilliant direct-hit run-out from Isaac. Cricket was the real winner, and the kids loved the trip to the park straight after the game! See you soon, Winnington—we’ll be back stronger!
