Wednesday 2nd May
Rounders

U16, U15, U14 v Marches (a) 3.15pm

The weather for our first rounders matches of the season was perfect.  Everyone was well-motivated and really looking forward to the matches.

U16 - Won 11.5 - 9.5
The batting went quite well but fielding was rather poor with too many missed balls, lack of concentration at times and missing the sharpness of tactics,such as covering each ball, deciding which post to throw the ball to, etc.  The team rallied again in the second innings, managing to maintain their lead.

U15 - Won 21 - 7.5
The U15s batted and fielded excellently during the first innings, rapidly drawing ahead.  The second innings saw a re-vitalised Marches team, whereas Oswestry were too complacent after the success of the first innings.  Fortunately, Oswestry got back into their stride and with some excellent batting, especially from Lucy Williams, finished with an impressive win.

U14 - Lost 8.5 – 12..5
The U14s took some time to settle into the game as it was their first match of the season.  After the 1st innings, the Marches had a strong lead.  However, Oswestry were not fazed and never gave up, displaying some excellent batting and fielding in the 2nd innings to keep them within reach.  The final score ended with Marches winning by 4 rounders.
