Denton 99-1, Glossop 98-6

After last weeks shocker against Hyde it was nice to see the U15s get back to winning ways tonight. After all the rain during the day the game was in doubt up to the last minute but fortunately we managed to play. Glossop reached 98 from their 20 overs with an impressive 42 not out from their opener T Malkin. Two wickets apiece for Zach Clough, Sean Miller and Rorie Fielding and one for Ali Ismail were the bowling highlights. We had a new opening pair of Zach Clough and Niall Maher and they set about the job straight away. Zach retired on 42 which included 6 fours and 1 six. Ali Ismail was next but unfortunately was given out LBW for 2. Alex Beeley was next at the crease and he and Niall saw us through to the target of 99. Niall finishing on 37 not out and Alex on 11 not out. We play Glossop again next week in the cup so a repeat performance would be very welcome. Well done lads.
