Ealing U10 vs Shepherd's Bush - Gubby Allen

Despite starting the game with only 5 players, due to bad traffic, Ealing U10s commenced the campaign with a good win. Shepherd's Bush sportingly allowed us to bat first, though perhaps regretted that as Adi and Isaac put on 50 runs for the opening partnership. Shivan and Monty in the middle order kept the runs coming, and luckily by the end of the innings (just!) we had a full complement of players.

Set 298, Shepherd's Bush lost a couple of early wickets to Isaac and Shivan but rallied after that. However a solid performance in the field and a further 3 wickets from Ludo and one from Rian kept the score down and they finished short on 263.
