The Bees Knees

Bees v Upchurch June 2017

“ THE BEES KNEES *

On Thursday 15th June the under 11 Bapchild Bees travelled to Upchurch for their 5th league game of the season.  A few new faces were introduced to the team for this game and as always they knew Upchurch would be formidable opponents.

Skipper Jacob Carter won the toss and elected to bowl first and after a good start from the Upchurch opening pair the Bees slowly secured a grip on the game with some brilliant fielding, catching, and backing up.

Pick of the Bees bowlers were young Archie Covey who finished with figures of 3 overs 1 wicket for only 4 runs

Upchurch were pegged back to 244 for 4 at the close of their innings

The Gunner lads, Ben and Tom, opened the Bees batting and put on 25 very useful runs to give the Bees a solid platform.  Steady batting from pairs two and three set up Jacob Carter and Reece Scamp to come in and play freely and this pair scored over 40 runs in their partnership with the Bees ending up on 302 for the loss of only 2 wickets.

A great win on the night and all the lads played a part in what was and enjoyable game for players and parents alike
