U9 Cricket v Strathallan

Won by 150 runs

On a mild but wet afternoon in Forgandenny, the Cargilfield U9 team played a team from Strathallan Prep School. We batted first and I was impressed with how many runs the team scored. Each pair hit some strong shots and the running between wickets was excellent. The scores were:

Archer and Hugo 31

Arran and Agustina 39

Magnus and Charlotte 19

Teddy and Eleora 13

Tommy and Minty 43

This gave the Cargilfield team a total of 145 runs.

I was particularly impressed with our fielding and bowling this afternoon. All the children bowling with a correct technique and becoming a lot more comfortable with the action. A wicket counted for -5, so low scores here are good!:

Minty -1

Tommy 2

Eleora 1

Teddy -4

Charlotte -4

Magnus 0

Agustina 0

Arran 1

Hugo -4

Archer 4

This gave the Strathallan team a score of -5, which, unbelievably, gave our second consecutive victory by 150 runs! Regardless of the score, we focused on our individual skills as well as our team performance. I was pleased with the positive, encouraging atmosphere on the pitch and the children are all developing great cricket knowledge and skills.
