HYTHE under 11 v Lymington 'A'
HYTHE & DIBDEN UNDER
11's
Vs LYMINGTON 'A'
Sunday 13th July
A disappointing finish against
Lymington.
Looking for the positives from this end of
the season clash is not the easiest of tasks. Once again Alex
‘9 out of ten tosses’ Nicholas did the job. This was
however the high point of the day. Alex elected to field and off
we set on yet another sunny day in the summer of 2008.
A strong batting display by Lymington including 21 by Will
Entwistle and 18 for A McGregor set the tone. A fine caught and
bowled gave Archie Gilbert the first wicket in the second over.
David Pepper then came on to bowl and Sam Kelly took a good catch
in the 5th over to give David his first wicket of the
season.
From that moment on the Lymington batsmen
were on top, scoring regularly in ones and twos, punctuated with
the occasional boundary. A total of 306 was always going to be a
tall order against a strong team and the Hythe innings got off to
the worse possible start with Harrison Smith clean bowled off the
first ball of the innings.
Harrison recovered to hit a fine boundary in
the next over and after four overs the score had returned above
200. Archie Gilbert and Sam Kelly then took the score on to 217
in their spell, picking up numerous singles without losing a
wicket. Ben Fenton and Ali Bryers then came to the crease and
some fine bowling by Hugo Chandler ensured that neither of them
had the best of days. Chandler finishing with 7 for 9 from his
three overs. Our final pair Alex and David tried valiantly to
take us up above 200 but to no avail. Alex struck a fluent 10
including a classic Pietersen pull shot for 4, and two other
fantastic straight drives.
The absence of ‘coach Nicholas’ as
he lay on his sick bed obviously left the team short of
inspiration this week. Get well soon, Tom!
A rather tame end to a year of steady
progress by the under 11’s, but still plenty to be
optimistic about looking forward to 2009. The rumour has it that
all the Dads will be showing their sons how to play the game next
Sunday in a Dads v Lads match. A little work on the forward
defensive stroke over the winter months, will I’m sure lead
on to greater success next year.
