Return of the Angels

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 - http://corbridge.play-cricket.com/scoreboard/scorecard.asp?id=11750356

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!!

She batted bravely but finally fell to an excellent ball!

The Star of our team!

Confidence well and truly restored :)

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 :)
