Easton U9s overcome Andover

Easton 307 for 5, Andover 265 for 7.

Easton were put in by Andover and were held back by some tight Andover bowling early on. The last two pairs, led by Ted Umbers with 21, and some excellent running between the wickets from WIll Roberts, Ali Reid-Thomas and James Jenkins.

In the field Easton put in a good team performance backing each other up well. The bowling effort was supported by some good catching, especially the two caught behinds by the keeper, Will Roberts. Grant Pugh took 3 well deserved wickets bowling a good line and pace.

Will Kent, skipper for the day, marshalled his troops well and chose Grant Pugh as his Player of the Match for his bowling effort.

Will's Top Tip is : When you get a bad ball to hit, make sure you get runs form it and don't try to hit it too hard!
