Corbridge Angels v South North

A BIG well done to all that played this evening. It was an almighty, fantastic TEAM performance!

Quick rundown of stats -

Bowling -

Cheryl - 21 runs off 5 overs - AND the FIRST EVER (I think) maiden over  - that means the opposition didn't score a single run off one of her overs!
Lisa - 30 runs off 5 overs and 1 wicket
Jen - 36 runs off 5 overs and 2 wickets! (WHAT a catch, Karen Chomse! - the ball went so high up it had ice on it when it came down - straight into Chomse's safe hands! Brilliant)
Karen Ch - 38 runs off 5 overs and not one single wide, yes that's what I said - NOT ONE SINGLE WIDE! Fantastic.

Just hit it!...

...Yes! Go on Cheryl and Karen!

20 runs later...knackered!

They scored 129 for 3 (only 14 extras)

Fielding -

Tremendous effort in the field, especially from the rookies Andrea and Gillian - some great stops to save the 4's. And Sarah, some excellent anticipationary (new word) fielding. (What I mean is - you were anticipating where the ball was going before it was played, rather than reacting after it had been played. Fantastic.
Splendid, solid wicky-ing from Karin - not many got past you!
Sharron - an excellent debut for your 8 overs in the field. Looking forward to seeing you for the whole game next week.

2 little Angels

Death Row I mean 'Waiting to Bat'

Batting -

Lisa - Oot for 3 runs. Bowled by the 9 year old lass with the evil googlie.
Jen - Oot for a duck - also against the 9 year old with an evil legbreak.

Oh my Gaad, we're all going to get skittled out for 10 runs at this rate...but hang on....

Cheryl - 22 runs (bowled)
Karen Ch - 20 runs (caught)

What a partnership! Fantastic display.
But surely now we'll be skittled...but hang on....

Sarah - 9 (not out)
Andrea 'Dancer down the wicket' - 4 (run out)
Gillian - only 1 shot, and not out.

TOTAL - 58 + 6 extras = 64 for 5

The Tea

South North said that we officially had the best tea in the league, and they would all be putting their names down on the team sheet for next season's game against us. I particularly loved Gillian's dainty little chocolate moose square things with the little things on the top. Delicious.

Overall

I think everyone can feel proud of their own performances. All that hard work and hours in the nets really seemed to pay off. But most of all - the team performance for me was outstanding - lots of encouragement, everyone on their toes in the field, backing up etc etc, and then stepping up to the mark when really needed with the bat and with the bowling. Brilliant - well done everyone!

Many thanks to Dave for setting up and umpiring,  to Charlie for scoring, and to my darling husband for shouting at me when I was bowled out.

22 runs later - well done Cheryl

Next week's game is v Ashington at home. They might be short of players so I have said that we may be able to lend them some rather than cancelling the game - so PLEASE let me know if you are available. Wednesday 11th 6pm start.
