We lost the toss and Ewell Castle decided to bowl first. We batted very well but do need to focus on playing straighter shots and less across the line batting, as this did lead to a few wickets, as well as, playing a shot a bit later. There are a lot of positives for the batting, Caitlin and Sienna opened, with Caitlin facing the first ball and retiring for 52 of 18 balls! With even nine fours and two sixes the second flying over the fence! With a partnership of 81! Lots of amazing shots were played throughout the match including Sienna's pull shots flying for four and two sixes, scoring 30 of 26, Ellie’s flick off the pads in the gap for four by square leg, and Caitlin hitting over the bowlers' head for a couple nice one bounce fours. There were even some sixes hit! Issy B and Isobel H finished off the innings not out with Issy on 15 off 33 and Isobel on 8 off 6. In total we achieved a great score of 188.

Our bowling was very good. Overall, there were not too many extras, and the bowling was quite tight. We only conceded 25 extras! We got 1 run out by Caitlin and bowled out the rest! Issy B got 3 wickets bowling the last over as well as the first and getting the last wicket. Bella also got 2 wickets. Elspeth got 2 wickets. Charlotte got 1 wicket. Issy B got 1 wicket. In total we bowled them all out for 11.3 overs. There was a lot of great bowling throughout the team, and although Annabel, Jess and Sienna didn't take any wickets they still bowled very well. The fielding was also quite good. We just need to remember to back up when throws are coming into the stumps.

Great start…..
