Tuesday 13th brought Moseley to the Graveyard for the start of the 2020 season, as usual they had a mixed side of a couple of senior players and the rest youngsters. Again I lost the toss but again we were asked to field first, which once again we did with great ability, with the girls soon adapting to having less players in the field and having to do much more chasing, the bowling was again a little inconsistent, however, the shorter spells seemed to benefit. Again the score was helped along with the extras we all gave away, Moseley got off to a good start and the openers got themselves in punishing the bad balls. Until there was some great sharp fielding that dismissed both the openers through run outs. Cue Ashfield girls going mental. Sara then came on for her second spell and reaped the benefits of straight bowling, with Moseley also looking to up their run rate, Sara bowled straight and took 4 wickets cue Ashfield girls going mental x 4, an excellent effort after also being given the responsibility of bowling the last over. Our batting was again our downfall, however, it again provided us with more experience of match situations. There was a vast improvement from Sunday’s game and if we can keep up the effort everyone continues to put in and attends training regularly we can look forward to our next games with confidence.
Moseley’s nominated Man of the Match Award Goes to Sara 4-17 & good batting

And to Zoe Smith from Moseley who as an under 11 making her first XI debut bowled v.well 2-4
