Denton 112-5, Hyde 108-3

The Under Seventeens had another win at home, this time against Hyde. The toss was won by Hyde who decided to have a bat and they made steady progress to reach 108 after the 20 overs. Two catches by Ali Ismail and 2 wickets for Adam Hilton, 1 wicket for Worm being the highlights. We started off well with Jarrod and Worm opening and were on 47 before the first wicket fell. Jarrod top scored with 32 before being bowled by Ebbrell. Sam Hood made an excellent 22 and steadied the ship after the previous 3 batsmen were out for low scores. He was joined by Mitchell Stafford who hit an impressive 25 including 3 fours and a 6. Game was won in the 18th over with Mitch hitting all 18 runs in the over.

Greenfield 86-6, Denton 87-2

After a mixed start to the season it was nice to progress to the next round of the cup where we will meet either Irlam or Woodhouses.

Early afternoon looked like the game was in doubt with the wonderful British weather but luckily it cleared and it was game on. Greenfield murdered us first game of the season and the blue noses who missed that game were well up for it.

We couldn’t have got off to a better start with Jarrod taking the first wicket in the second over. Great bowling from all the bowlers restricted Greenfield to 86 for 6 after the 20 overs.

The lads were confident they could do this, but not too confident after last weeks disaster. The innings couldn’t have got off to a worse start with Jarrod being bowled in the first over but Adam joined Worm and the runs started to come. We lost Worm with the score on 24. Jordan and Adam then knocked off the remaining runs with Adam finishing on 24 and Jordan on 38, great batting performances from both of them.

We face Hyde next week in the league at home.
