A Chilly Day for Cricket
A Chilly Day for Cricket
It was Finals Day at North Runcton Cricket Club today.
We were one of eight teams, St Martha’s, North Wootton, Hilcrest, Wimbotsham, Terrington, Ingoldisthorpe and The Glebe taking part in this event, the top two teams qualifying for the County Finals later in the month.
It was rather cool and windy, not the weather you would associate with cricket but we had an enjoyable day, giving it our best effort. After finishing joint 2nd on points in our pool but 3rd on run rate we entered the Plate Competition. In this we played Terrington and won 77-44, in the final we were up against Ingoldisthorpe but unfortunately lost 62-73, therefore finishing 2nd in the Plate. St Martha’s, our group winners went on to play The Glebe, the other group winners with The Glebe winning overall.
It was a highly competitive day and the standard throughout very high, we certainly improved, our bowling accuracy meant we gave away a lot less runs and that combined with some magnificent catches left us all feeling we had done our best.
A super effort everyone!
