Bredon under 11s lose to Tanworth and Camp Hill by four runs
There was a nail-biting final over as Bredon under 11s batted flamboyantly in a last-ditch effort to reel in Tanworth and Camp Hill Maroons.
Only some fine fielding by the Maroons preserved their lead, and the match ended 249-245.
It was, overall, a solid performance by Bredon.
First class display from Bredon under 12s
Bredon under 12s put on a first class display away against Exhall and Wexford.
Bredon batted first and scored 303 for two wickets.
Exhall and Wexford were 211 for 16 wickets.
It was an excellent batting, bowling and fielding performance by all eight players.
There was lots of encouragement, and all the players helped each other in what was a great team effort.
They are really taking in the training drills on a Friday night, and learning the skills that are being implemented on match days.
A massive pat on the back to the under 12s team. Well done, lads!
