STOOLBALL: The Mixed team played at Civil Services tournament last Sunday and won one of their three matches. Pett was first but we lost Ian Kitson (3) in the first over and two balls later Richard Apps(1) was caught with the score on 14-2 so we needed skipper JJ Boast to hold the innings together but he was controversially run out without scoring. Lou Taylor(17n.o.) and Jordan Ripley-Fuller(5) put on 14 before Jordan was bowled and then Jacqui Kuhler(6) and Lucy Kuhler(2n.o.) ended our 4 overs on 53-5. We needed to bowl and field well to have any chance of winning but we failed to get either opener out until the last over when Sharron(18) was run out and with the scores level Dan(21) was bowled by Ian with just one ball to go Nathan tapped the ball down to hit the winning run. Our second match was against Scorpions and again we struggled to post a decent score with Jacqui(3), Lucy(3) and Charlie Apps(3) all being run out but Richard(38n.o.) and Lou(0n.o.) got us to 52-3. We started well taking the first wicket with only 3 runs on the board when Eric(1) was caught by Ian off the bowling of Jacqui(1-12) and in the next over JJ(2-8) caught and bowled Ellie(5) and then Ian caught Alek(6) to leave them on 15-3 but Aaron(8) and Sally(26n.o.) took them to 42 when Charlie bowled Aaron however Mark(2n.o.) saw Scorpions win by 8 runs. Our final match was against Icklesham with JJ(58n.o.) holding the innings together with Lucy(4) and then Charlie(3) both being run out while Lou(0n.o.) ending our innings on 76-2. Toby(50n.o.) held Icklesham’ innings together as Rachel(2) was bowled by JJ and then Tracey(9n.o.) just could not get to our total as we fielded well to win by 1 run. This Sunday is Brightling’ Ladies Tournament at Netherfield 10a.m. while on Tuesday(17th) the Ladies travel to Pett and on Thursday(19th) the Mixed are at home to Civil Service with both matches starting at 7p.m.
