Sunday 15th June brought Walmley 2nds to Britannic, their team consisted of one senior member a few Warwickshire age group players and some very young players playing in their first 40 over game. We won the toss and chose to field first. Their two openers made a good positive start showing patience and experience putting the bad balls away, until Manjit expertly ran out the batter whilst she was backing up! Some tight fielding and accurate throwing again by Manjit got another run out with a direct hit. After the top three batters were out they struggled to score, mainly due to the tight bowling of Chelle Hughes on her comeback game for Ashfield and Vicky Sears on her return to the side for this season. Once again Sara Eccleston struck in her second spell finishing with 3 wickets. The fielding again was tight and bowling is becoming more accurate, although two improvements in the field for the next game are needed; more urgency in retrieving the ball and getting through overs and secondly more noise, it was far too quiet on Sunday! Walmley finished their innings on a gettable score of 117. Batting again was a disappointment, although we scored more than previous games. With only 4 people scoring and the top score being 14 (Sara) vast improvements are needed from everyone, so everyone is contributing. In terms of batting, the result points out the importance of playing straight as they bowled very accurately on the stumps and people got bowled playing across the line. With some more intense work on batting in training this shall come with time.
