Under 11s continue winning ways

Bredon's Under 11s continued their winning ways with victory over AshtonBredon’s Under 11s continued their winning ways with victory over Ashton

Bredon Under 11s registered their fourth consecutive win of the season with a comfortable victory over Ashton at the picturesque Birlingham Cricket Club.

Wins against Alcester and Ragley, Kineton and Overbury were backed up by a really good team performance against Ashton.

An excellent effort in the field, including great catching and backing up, restricted Ashton to 223.

There may not have been the 16 wickets taken against Overbury the previous Sunday, but the team’s togetherness and attitude was excellent.

Bredon’s reply was a well measured and sensible effort that contained some excellent shots and some (surprisingly) good running between the wickets.

All of the pairs batted well, and the runs of Felix Hyett, Alex McMillan and Tom Washbourne ensured that Bredon remained comfortably ahead of the target for most of the innings and saw the team through to a 41-run victory.

Lots more cricket to be played this season, but it’s great to see the kids having fun and playing so well as a team!

Bredon Under 11s cruise to victory over Tewkesbury

In control. Bredon cruised to a win over an under-strength Tewkesbury side

Bredon’s Under 11s cruised to victory in a friendly against an under-strength Tewkesbury at Hill Close this morning.

The home side scored 286 to the visitors’ 203, losing just three wickets along the way.

The Under 11s, who were also missing some regulars, were bolstered by Sam Wilson from the Under 9s and John Darby, who was making his competitive debut for Bredon.

Bredon’s highlights included a wicket from Ben Vicarage (bowled and caught), some cracking deliveries from Euan Styles, and solid battling from Harry Buckley, George Gallagher, Max Murray and Tolly Wilson.

Thanks for the game, Tewkesbury.

Under 11s ease to victory over Harvington

Top team: The Under 11s triumphed over Harvington

Captain for the match Charlie Cooper correctly called tails and asked to field first, explaining confidently that “we like to chase”.

Playing 10-a-side with five batting pairs, Bredon’s bowling was not at its very best, but still effective, and wickets fell regularly through the Harvington innings.

This, plus a very energetic and skilful fielding performance contained the home side to 233 from their 20 overs.

James Collins was the pick for Bredon; fast, straight and full, he bowed a miserly spell of three overs for no runs with three wickets.

All five batting pairs made a positive contribution to the Bredon total, with a more circumspect approach than in recent weeks ensuring only a few wickets were conceded.

Despite resisting the temptation to smash every ball, the scoreboard still rattled along, with many playing scoring boundaries.

Special mention goes to Tom Washbourne, who showed his older team mates the way by batting carefully but still striking two sumptuous fours.

The final word was left to George and Tolly who, batting last, put Bredon out of reach.

A tremendous over saw Tolly smash the very first six of the season and follow up with two further boundaries, leaving Bredon on 285, and comfortable winners.

A very big thank-you to Trevor and all the parents at Harvington for hosting the fixture and providing fantastic hospitality.

The hot dogs at the end of the game were delicious and we hope to return the favour next season.

Bredon under 11s lose to Tanworth and Camp Hill by four runs

So close! Tanworth and Camp Hill Maroons beat Bredon under 11s by just 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.
