Our U9s travelled to Trafford Metroviks on a cool Monday night for our third match of the season.

The Whalley Range team were asked to field first and the boys put in an excellent performance. With some fine bowling from all players. Dhani, Khalil and Yaqoob bowled with skill and style showing how much they are all developing. Fin picked up his first wicket and debutants Nayan, Leo and Stan all bowled nicely and grew in confidence, while Ethan bowled an incredible leg spin ball which fizzed through the air. 

The fielding led by Caolan showed lots of improvement as the players are learning their roles and the importance of ‘backing up’ the wicket keeper or bowler as a second line of defence.

Our batting was really impressive too. Some big shots including sixes and fours but also some really great running between the wickets meant we scored quickly and without many run outs. 

After 16 overs we had scored 92 runs for the loss of 5 wickets which is excellent and we were all really proud of the team who picked up their first win of the season.

Finally, it was lovely to see the whole team in full kit with their WR caps. They looked great!
