 Kwik Cricket GirlsGrasby's big hitters secure a place in the County Final The Wolds SSP Girls Kwik Cricket competition for 2010 disappointingly only featured four schools. The girls however thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon at the picturesque grounds of Caistor Cricket Club.
Each team played the other three with matches superbly officiated by Wes Allison and six of his under 15 cricketers who had kindly been allowed out from Caistor Yarborough and Grammar schools.
Matches were played in great spirit and with much gusto. The sound of leather on willow is replaced by latex on plastic as the kwik cricket equipment is modified for junior use but still the fours and sixes rang out.
The fielding was a little lax at times and some bowlers struggled with getting the ball on target but then again some glimpses of brilliance proved that we may be looking at a Charlotte Edwards or Aaron Brindle of the future.
The last game of the day became the decider as North Somercotes (unbeaten so far) took on the Grasby team (also unbeaten).
Somercotes batted first and notched up runs at a steady pace only losing four wickets during the innings. Grasby matched their oppositions score almost to the letter during the first six overs but then Grasby played their secret weapons - their last pairing. These girls hit 18 off the 12 balls with no loss of wicket and secured a win for Grasby by 12 runs.
Grasby will now represent The Wolds SSP at the County Final in June. We wish them the very best of luck.
Thanks go to Caistor Cricket Club for permitting the use of the ground and the pavilion. |
