Ealing U11A vs Shepherd's Bush - League

What a difference a week makes! Last week snow, this week a warm almost summer-like evening! We had quite a similar pattern to the match though. Put in to bat first, Shepherd's Bush set a respectable total of 117 off 20 overs, despite the loss of 4 wickets. Matthew with 26 and Harry with 44 not out batted very well. Shivan once again topped the Ealing bowling figures with 1 for 17 off his 4 overs. Isaac's ball for his wicket was a beauty and Jack and Harry M took the other two wickets. Apart from another good wicket keeping performance, this week from Jack A, the fielding still lacked a little sharpness though.

On the batting side, we again survived the scare of an early wicket and Rian (23) did another good job of steadying things at number 3, batting well with Jack A (33 not out). It was a nicely paced innings, though the scoreboard freezing due to dead batteries did cause some concern on run rate at one point. Extras contributed 54 to our total, though did limit the batsmen's scores a little. James came in towards the end to finish the innings off nicely with a couple of big fours and secure another good win.
