U13A Rounders v Belhaven

18-12 (win)

A fantastic sunny Wednesday afternoon at Cargilfield for some rounders. We started off batting and as usual this was very consistent with some lovely bowls coming in from the Belhaven bowler. These allowed the girls to make some lovely contact with the ball sending it a great distance and making Belhaven perform some quick fielding. We did however also find that it allowed us to hit the ball high in the air making it easy for Belhaven to catch the it. We did really well to push onto 2^nd base gaining many ½ points to add to our total. At the end of the first 30 good balls we were up 9 ½ points.

It was Cargilfield’s turn to take to the field. Lotte had some great bowling and didn’t give away any points the whole game. In the field we made some little errors with lack of communication and sometimes lack of paying attention however the team really worked as a unit to pick up their game and held Belhave off scoring points. They finished with 3 1/2 points.

Our second shot at bats were as consistent as our first. This is definitely a strength of our team this season. Another good scoring innings with 8 1/2 points being added to the score finishing on 18 points.

Back into the field we went and this time Belhaven were eager to add to their score. They had a real sense of wanting to win and with that they started to consistently hit, hit, hit! Their scoring kept topping up and we were really challenged in the field. On occasions the ball would go straight over the top of our outfielders or hit the ball hard and roll past us. After 30 good balls Belhaven had added 8 ½ points to their score finishing on 12. Well done to both teams for a great game!
