Yateley Cricket Club

An exciting afternoon's cricket ends in smiles and awards for our U11 Girls as they celebrate becoming Runners Up at this year's Cove tournament. Visit the photo galleries for our photos.

Yateley Girls were Runners up in a truly tense afternoon's cricket! The girls started slowly as they remembered how to play outdoors…it was, after all, our first outdoor match this season! We lost to Aldershot then had an uplifting win against the U10 District Girls immediately followed by a win against Petersfield. There were quick runs (including 2s!!) by Rosalyn and Sure, a dive to stop a 4 by Megan, accurate bowling which foxed the opposition including a middle stump from Kayleigh (much to her delight). We cheered on some brick-wall wicket keeping from Shannon and memorable 4s from Sasha and Sure. 
At the end of the Tournament we were bemused to discover that each team had won 2 and lost 2! How would the result be worked out? We couldn't use wickets as some games had played a different numbers of players and overs. Luckily Cove had calculators and used the net run rate to reach the final result… 5th Petersfield, 4th District, 3rd Aldershot, 2nd YATELEY, 1st Cove.

All in all a great day out with, of course, the best girls. Congratulations Girls…looking forward to the rest of the League season.
