On a beautiful night down at Corbridge last night, we took on Stocksfield 1sts in our first game of the season.
Here's the scorecard -

Jen
was our 'lass of the match' with a brilliant 12 not out, batting at
no.6 and helping to make our score a lot more respectable for
Stocksfield to chase.
We ended up with 45 for 5 after 18 overs, and Stocksfield chased and reached that total in 9 overs to win the match.
Some exceptional fielding from Jenny who was playing in her
first ever
match, an excellent start from our wicky Kerry (who also played shot of
the night with a fantastic 4!) and a brave innings from Catching Chomse
who did her job perfectly - seeing out the opening bowlers and
therefore protecting the batsmen following on. Shame I couldn't have
done that job as well as she did. I only had to face 2 more bowls from their
brilliant young opener and got oot which exposed poor Jenny to her last
ball of the game - a total peach, and completely undefendable! Sorry
Jenny!!

A glorious tea! (The Stocksfield players were even taking photos of it lol!)
Thank
you to all who helped in the kitchen - really appreciated! Wasn't it
great to have that special atmosphere back again with lots of people,
marauding hungry kids, and sunshine. Only Corbridge provides this
magical atmosphere. :)
Wonderful support - Thank you everyone who made the effort to come down and support - again, much appreciated :)
