3s win again and 1s also win
The 3rd XI won their third game in a row to place them in 2nd in their league while the 1s returned to winning form at Tonbridge this weekend.
The 1st XI travelled to Tonbridge and were put into the field by the home team. Opening bowler Ricky Dale (1 for 18) picked up an early wicket and bowled superbly going for just 18 runs in his 9 overs. Tonbridge dug in and started building a innings but the 1s chipped away with Tom Carey (2 for 29) and Lee Cogger (2 for 36) clearing the top order. Harry Mantle (3 for 34) together with Will Cosstick (1 for 7) and a run out from Tyler Wassell ensured the none of the bottom 5 batsman got into double figures as Tonbridge found themselves all out on the last ball of the innings for 169 runs.
Tom Carey was caught early on but a fine partnership between James Weller (69) and Ricky Dale (71 no) took the game away from the home team. Will (12no) chipped in as the team crossed the line with 1 over and 8 wickets to spare.
The 2nd XI were at home to Canterbury CC. Adam Rayner (2 for 24) picked up early wickets and was supported well by Ashley Bax (2 for 25) and Thiyaga Shanmugam (2 for 45). Ollie Julier (1 for 33) and Ethan Collier (2 for 21) carried on adding the pressure as Canterbury found themselves all out for 164 in the 37th over.
Canterbury picked up early wickets but a stand between Christopher Knope (29) and Adam Rayner (22) steadied the ship. Unfortunately once they were dismissed only Ashley (11) reached double figures as the team was bowled out for 94 in the 38th over.
The 3rd XI travelled to Minster fresh off the back of two wins in a row. Put into the field Jay Sharma (1 for 7 off 5 overs) and Ella Hadler (1 for 18) put the home team under pressure with Ella once again missing out on a number of wickets due to drop catches. Sophie Hogben (4 for 31) continued the good work and at the other end William Roe (2 for 16) bowled with great maturity picking two wickets on debut including a caught & bowled. William stayed in the action picking up a good catch to end the match off George Ward (2 for 10) as Minister found themselves all out for 82 in the 21st over.
Minister picked up an early wicket but Brian Carey (9) and Will Surridge (21) slowly built a partnership. Ben Gunner (31) showed intent hitting his first ball for 4 and batted well with Will. By the time they were both dismissed the damage was done and the 3rds crossed the line with 5 wickets and 19.4 overs to spare to go second in the table.
The Sunday XI travelled to Frittenden and were out into bat. James Weller (54) stood out in the batting with only Brian Carey (10) and Ethan Collier (15) reaching double figures as the team found themselves all out for 109 in the 35th over.
The game was far from over as Tom Carey (5 for 30) and Daniel Covey (3 for 31) and a run out from Tom Gunner whittled the wickets away with only two of the Frittenden batsman reaching double figures. In a tense game that could have gone either way unfortunately the home team came out on top reaching the desired total with just one wicket remaining.
The U14 team came up just 15 runs short against Minister on Sunday Morning
