U9 Rounders v Belhaven

The Under 9s were pleased to be playing rounders again on a beautiful afternoon at Belhaven. With liberal amounts of sun cream applied to all, Clara, our captain, won the toss and we went into field. Clara was bowling fast and pretty accurately but Belhaven had some good hitters. We still managed to hold them to three rounders though, with one girl stumped out. In our first innings we were not hitting quite as well as Belhaven, in fact many of the girls missed the ball altogether. However, we were brave and determined in running and managed several half rounders and Zinnia scored a whole rounder, giving a total of 5½.

Belhaven did not fare so well in their second innings as we improved our fielding. Alice and Isla did particularly well running players out and Zinnia took a fabulous catch. Well done, Zinnia! Belhaven did need to communicate better when running as Alice managed to get two runners out at third post and then another unfortunate at second, all off one ball! In total we managed to get nine runners out in the second innings, quite an achievement!

In Cargilfield’s last innings we did manage to hit the ball a bit better, which gave us a much better chance to score. Clara scored a whole rounder and Isla M. scored two. With several more half rounders we achieved 6 ½ for the second innings. Well played, girls!
