Copthorne opened the first innings batting. Our batting was slightly inconsistent and we did not score as many as we can. Although Cottesmore’s fielding was good our girls were not reading the game and lost out on a couple of opportunities. However, the opposition’s bowler gave a few no balls away and we finished the first innings on 8 rounders. Cottesmore’s batting was good too but due to some great tight fielding and three superb catches from Harriet they only managed to score 5½. Copthorne’s... 

After last week’s disappointment of the called off match at Cumnor the 3rds were raring to go, on home soil against Duke of Kent.  Illness and injury took its toll again as no fewer than 6 players were unavailable for the senior teams so the colts came to the rescue. Put into bat first, by stand in skipper Joe Sparrow, DoK made good ground picking up singles and taking every wide and no ball going (both being worth 2 runs in this form of the game).  Joe took the first wicket with a straight delivery... 

Although we didn’t win the toss, Copthorne was determined to set the pace batting first. Initially our batting wasn’t as strong as it can be however as a result of several no balls and some great shots and sharp judgement from the girls we managed to enter fielding with 9½. Our bowling was strong and Great Walstead found it difficult to score especially as there was some strong fielding- we managed to get 8 batters out with 5 good balls left. Our passing was accurate and fast and it wasn’t...

Despite the constant threat of rain and a sudden hailstorm we were lucky to play a whole match. Despite losing this was a fairly even sided game. Copthorne opened the batting and despite some accurate and very fast bowling from Cumnor we were able to score six rounders. Our fielding was tight too which prevented the opposition from scoring more than five. However it was in the second innings that we made some mistakes and with 6 good balls left we were down to one batter. As a result we did not score...
