Under 13's Vs SWAY
Toss Won by : Hythe
This match was reduced to 16 overs a side because of fading light.
Sam Mead won the toss and elected to field first. Hythe put in a much better bowling display this week as their bowlers only bowled 9 wides in total.
Tom Huxley picked up 2 wickets off his two overs whilst Harry Smith was very accurate in only conceeding 1-11 runs off his 4 overs and Tom Richards 1-17 off his 4 overs.
The fielding was also good as Harry Smith 2, Matt Young, Todd Powell c&b and Tom Huxley all held onto catches.
Sway finished their 16 overs on 83 for 9.
In reply Hythe lost Harry Smith 6 early but that brought Sam Mead to the crease with Matt Young to form the main partnership of the innings.
When Mead 12 and Young 18 were out so were Hythe's chances as the rest all failed to get going and Hythe fell just 9 runs short finishing on 74 for 6.

Under 13's Vs LANGLEY MANOR
Toss Won by Hythe
Innings of : LANGLEY MANOR 126 for 3 ( 18 Overs )
Hythe were expecting a tougher match than the previous day against a strong Langley Manor outfit.
Sam Mead won the toss and elected to field first.
The Hythe bowlers were soon being punished as a short boundary assisted in Langley getting off to a strong start.
None of them escaped punishment as Langley knocked up 126 for 3 off their 18 overs.
Young Josh Mead and John Stovell took the two wickets to fall whilst a direct throw from Todd Powell also claimed a run out.
Hythe were never going to win the match so the key was to bat out the innings and get as many runs as possible. Unfortunately Hythe got off to the worst start when Matt Young was caught behind for 0. But Harry Smith showed a lot of determination as he carried his bat for the whole 18 overs and finished on 27 not out.
Sam Mead 5. A.Wall 1 and Todd Powell 1 all went cheaply against some tidy bowling but Smith found a good partner in Tom Richards who finished on 14 not out. Smith and Richards took the score to 73 for 4 at the end of the 18 overs with some very positive shots and running between the wicket.
Langley were worthy winners by 53 runs.
