Bees so close to first win
The recently reformed U12 Bees came so close to their first win on Thursday.
On a warm humid evening theymet Rodmersham for their 12th league game of the season. Bees captain Jake lost the toss and Bapchild were invited to bat first.
After a solid start Charlie took the game to Rodmersham smashing 3 fours in his score of 14 and this set the tone.
Spencer and Sidney the last batting pair both hit boundaries and batted aggressively with the Bees reaching their best score of the season of 281 at the close of their innings.
Rodmersham openers started well scoring freely despite Sidney picking up a wicket and supported well by Christian. Connie, Brook and Jake bowled well and when Charlie took two wickets in two balls just missing out on a well deserved hat-trick Bapchild looked like they may be in the chase for their first victory. Unfortunately despite good fielding by the team and tight bowling by Toby and Spencer including Spencer picking up a wicket in the last over Rodmersham sneaked ahead and Bapchild despite their valiant efforts just couldn’t take the wickets they needed for their first victory of the season.
A superb game of cricket enjoyed by players and spectators alike and a great advertisement for the Swale Under 12 league.
