We're really struggling to set a competitive total. We'll be lucky to get to 120 and even that doesn't seem like it'll be enough.

Toss: wolfberries won the toss and elected to bat.

A bit late on looking at opponents so couldn't really select the pitch I wanted , so went with Sticky as the best option available.
At 24 for 4, wasn't sure that it was a wise choice but a bit better now.

That's much better, now we have a target that we could defend.

The batting wasn't good enough and gave the bowlers too much to do.

[eagles123]

got a really young youth side at the moment with only 3 players older than 18.06 years. Plus we don't really have a wicketkeeper lol. Just hoping to maintain our position in Div 4 for YOD and YT20 over the next couple of seasons before hopefully pushing up the leagues as some of the younger ones develop. Good win today:

We lost the toss and were put in to bat against Egham Town in a crucial game in the relegation battle. I'm reasonably happy with the batting but we're still going to need to bowl well. McCall hit 45 and Issa got 44.

[eagles123]

Lost the toss and was put into bat on sticky/hot. Got up to a decent total with 148/5, Morrison top scoring with 52. In reply looked like opps were gonna romp to victory at 123/3 from 16, but Mateta ripped through their middle order and tail to end with 5/26 as we secured an unlikely 10 run win.

I'm happy so far. Young 16-year-old batter Chance Schwartz really took his...opportunity well with 76 from 95 balls.

Not the worst total, but not sure we are favourites to defend this.

A very surprising total against one of the teams at the top who we are level on points with. I really need this to act like a slow pitch now as it didn't seem to when we were batting.

This pitch is not as advertised. Not a slow pitch at all it seems.
