Match reports from your Captains

Ascot Blue Sox

We started the season against last year’s division 2 winners, we had a poor first innings but going into the 2nd innings we were 4-3 down. We then turned things around and managed to show the Outlaws how to use a bat! So from the 3rd innings the Outlaws were chasing us, but to no avail, even thought our short stop was a little of his game! (still hurting from 1st ball)
Thanks to the team we had a super game, winning 17 – 10.

Ascot Blue Jays

A good first innings saw us take the lead 3-2, unfortunately the next 2 innings didn't see us progress past 2nd base.
Even though Chalfont managed some steady scoring in the first 3 innings, we managed to hold the fielding tight and they only scored only once more in the 5th. The last 2 innings were quick, with Chalfont not managing to break down Spyder's pitching or the great efforts of the whole field.
Even though the game was lost, we had some new faces that integrated very well into team, a great 2nd and 3rd partnership between Lin and Carol, some great hitting by Antony and Katie(steroid tests were negative!), and some good hits from Rob and Thomas(unfortunately caught!). 
All in all, looks like we got a great team in progress, and some newbies waiting in the wings for this week!
