RESULTS - The 1st XI fell to an 18-run defeat against Embsay CC. Having won the toss and elected to field, we made a strong start with the ball and kept Embsay under pressure early on. However, the hosts recovered well through a number of useful partnerships and finished their 45 overs on 243-4.

Toby (23), Lorcan (24) and Sam W (18) also made contributions as we kept ourselves in the chase. Despite wickets falling at regular intervals, the lower order continued to battle and pushed the game deep into the second innings. In the end, we were bowled out for 225 in 44.2 overs, finishing just 18 runs short of victory.

The 2nd XI produced an excellent run chase to secure a convincing victory over Ripley CC, successfully chasing down 211 to win by six wickets. After being asked to field, our bowlers worked hard to restrict Ripley to 210 all out.

George was the pick of the attack, taking an impressive 4-60, with Martin also claiming a wicket. In reply, we made a steady start before Charles contributed a valuable 32 from 48 balls. Will then accelerated the chase with an excellent 59 from just 49 balls, including six fours and a six. James added a useful 16. The star of the chase was Harrison, who produced a superb unbeaten 79 from 77 balls, striking 11 fours to guide us over the line.
