Under 13's Go Through to Quarter- Finals

Hythe’s U13’s have made it through tp the Under13 Cup Quarter- Finals with a 11 run win over rivals Fawley. Coach Rich Froggett shuffled his batting order to give other people a game and 8 players managed to get a bowl.

They will now play Bashley 'B in the Quarter-Finals.

On a sunny evening Fawley elected to field first. Hythe opened with Richard Jones and Nathan Froggett and 6 runs came off the first two overs. But in the third Froggett was bowled by Munro for 4. 10-1 became 15-2 when Richard Jones was bowled by Pothecary for 7.

Pothecary continued to be Fawley's best bowler with his next over being a maiden. Tom Smith and Connor McKell moved the score onto 29 before Pothecary claimed his second wicket bowling Jones (4). Hythe now 29-3 off 9 overs.

4 runs later Knight-Owen was run out for 0 Hythe 33-4 and Froggie's plan backfiring? Kieran Chalmers next in and looking to up the pace. Fawley could have made the game much easier for themselves but for the 22 wides. At 42 Hythe lost their 5th wicket - McKell bowled by Francis for 6 in the 12th over.

Zac Millar into join Chalmers and the pair put on a much needed 45 runs in 5 overs before Millar (9) was caught off the bowling of Pothecary. 3 runs off the last over and Hythe close their innings on 90 for 6 with Kieran Chalmers unbeaten on 26* including 3 fours. Chris Griffin finished 1*. Fawleys best bowler D.Pothecary 3-8 off 4.

After a team talk and a swift drink for the coaches Hythe took to the field. Josh Mead opened the bowling with Chris Griffin and in the 4th over Griffin had Munro L.B.W. for 5 - Fawley 9-1 after 3.1 overs. Worsley came into join Bunday and looked in decent nick hitting 2 fours off Alex Nicholas, but with the score on 20 Fawley lost their second wicket when Zac Millar bowled Bunday (6). Fawley 20-2 off 5.4 overs.

A 34 run partnership then occured for Fawley between Worsley and R.Jones in 8 overs which took the score to 54 when Hythe claimed their next and much needed wicket of Worsley (22) caught by Zac Millar off the bowling of Kieran Chalmers. Fawley very much still in it still needing 37 runs from 5.3 overs.

The next 2 overs go for 15 runs but in the 15th over Jones was run out by Chalmers for 11. The 16th over goes for 4 and Fawley require 23 off just 2 overs. Into the 17th and Richard Jones bowls Cooper for 1 and 5 runs off the over leaves Fawley needing 18 off the last. First ball the impressive Chalmers bowls Pothecary for 10 and Fawley 73-6. Five runs then came leaving Hythe winners by 12 Runs.

A good win for the Green Caps in a game played in very good spirit. But if theyre to progress to the Semi's then they will have to cut out the 15 wides from their bowling.
