JUNIOR ROUND-UP:
U15s - v Cheadle: Wrong end of a close game, losing in the final over. Batted first with significant contributions from Robert (36 retired, sponsored by Brendan Pattison & Son) and Jack (26), led to us finishing on 114/6. We struggled to take wickets in reply, losing by 7 wickets.
v New Mills: A game where we struggled to score, Lloyd (21no) top contributor with bat. A physically bigger New Mills team were able to reach our total of 73/5 inside 13 overs. Toby making best use of the conditions to return bowling figures of 2-5.
U13s - v Chapel: An excellent win. Ruben R pick of bowlers with 4-4. Chasing 56, we had steady start, with just 10 needed from final pair. Result never in doubt as Toby (20 from 12) and Reuben S (44 from 14) smashed 69 in 4 overs.

v Sale: Despite a strong start, dropped catches & extras allowed Sale to post 130 all out. In reply we couldn’t keep up with the rate - Reuben S (22), Ben (15 - sponsored by GrassrootsPay) and Toby (12no) only ones to reach double figures. Closing on 99/5, losing by 31 runs.
U11s (Sponsored by Stopfordian) - v Buxworth: A good win in a competitive game. Everyone contributed in a team effort. Final result was win by 24 runs.
v Marple: A win by 5 runs in a tight, low-scoring game. Patrick pick of batters with 7, Miles pick of bowlers with 3 wickets.
v Stockport: Yet another win! Restricting them to 242 despite only taking 6 wickets left us with a comfortable chase. Zac (26) top-scored in reply.
U9s - v Charlesworth: Another game for our youngest age group, with lots of wickets, runs & great fielding on show. Great fun & the team were very pleased with their first win!
