U10 And U11 Cricket v Twycross

Crescent mixed U10s XI vs Twycross U10s XI
 
Having only ever played pairs cricket before, Crescent settled superbly into their very first 11-aside game against Twycross. Batting first, Crescent were able to set a very imposing score of 116, partly thanks to some very powerful early boundary hitting from Yash, racking up a quick-fire 22. This was backed up by some clever shots and running from Charlie and Alex, leaving Twycross with a real mountain to climb. In reply Crescent bowled and fielded superbly, Harry and Yash both bowling very tightly and picking up important wickets. This left Twycross on 93, meaning a huge 23 run victory for Crescent. Well done to the whole team, who supported each other superbly, Yash scooping player of the match for fantastic all round play.
 
Crescent mixed U11s XI vs Twycross U11s XI
 
Again playing in their very first 11-aside cricket match, Crescent fielded first against a strong and experienced Twycross side. Crescent immediately adapted to the new style of play, bowling and fielding well together as a team to restrict the score to 99-5, despite some big boundary hitting from one of the Twycross batters. Katherine bowled fantastically, taking 2 wickets and Rohan picked up a wonderful 3 wicket haul. Special mentions also to Rory and Caspar for very tight fielding, and Kai with a super catch in the deep. In reply Crescent were initially hampered by the loss of two early wickets, however Ro and Evie steadied the ship superbly, taking us from 9-2 up to 59-2. Unfortunately Crescent were just unable to find the big boundaries needed to up the run rate, finishing with 80-3, 19 runs short of the Twycross total. Player of the match was Rohan for both his bowling and batting.
