Cricket match report
On Thursday
26th June Tenbury High School played against rivals Weobley High
School. In Tenbury’s team they had 3 year 8’s who were: Jamie Farrar, Will Ward
(wicketkeeper) and Ethan Fish. Ten Year 9’s, including Alfie Watts (captain), Rory Noble, Tom Ferguson, Brandon Hadley, Tom
Bowen, Kit Garbutt, Jake Lambert, Luke Staples, Connor Lewis, Adam Robinson and
Peter Down. To finish the squad we had two year 10’s- Joel Stones and Nick
Webb.
After Tenbury’s victory over Weobley earlier in the season they were looking
like favourites. Tenbury were wanting to field first, but lost the toss.
Luckily the Weobley captain decided they wanted a bat so Tenbury were left to
field. Nick Webb had Tenbury’s first
over and went for only two runs. Next to bowl was Alfie Watts from the pond
end, during the over he went for 11 runs but took the wicket of Weobley’s
danger man and captain from an excellent catch by Rory Noble in Gully. A few
overs later Jamie Farrar came in to the attack in for Nick Webb and like Nick
only went for 2 runs off his first over.
The next wicket broke a partnership
that could have been deadly but luckily a brilliant catch from Joel Stones off Jamie Farrar’s bowling got rid of the danger. Rory Noble then came into bowling
and went for very limited runs in his first over. The next over he had involved
a ball that took middle stump flying. Tom Ferguson also took a wicket with his
first bowl for Tenbury High School, then a few overs later took the wicket of
the last batsmen with a catch from midwicket. The final bowling figures were:
Nick Webb
0-14
Alfie Watts
3-29
Jamie Farrar
1-5
Rory Noble
1-7
Tom Ferguson
2-6
Tenbury
needed 66 to win at just 4 an over. The openers for Tenbury were Joel Stones
and Jamie Farrar. These two stayed in for 9 overs and made a 50 partnership
until Jamie Farrar went for a quick single, but was sent back and run out for 6
runs. However when Nick Webb came in at 3 Tenbury only needed 16 runs off 7
overs for a victory. Tenbury made this target easily with 3 overs to spare with
a four from Joel stones who finished on 33 not out. Nick Webb finished with no
runs and not out. Tenbury have now won two on the bounce and will be looking
forward to the next game.
