11-07-2010 - Home - TCL - Finch vs Farnham

Great show at Finch

Penultimate game of TCL league and top two in West group came together to put on another great game of cricket. The TCL was meant to be a learning curve for the Finch boys this year with 9 of the team being U12 but they have pulled together superbly, held their nerve in some tight finishes and today proved to be another against a strong Farnham side.

Winning the toss and batting first Finch got off to a another good start with 48 -1 on the board after the first ten. Against some good bowlers on a very dry strip with long boundaries runs were never going to be flowing but good running and some aggressive batting saw Finch amass 115 in their 20 overs. Billy and Max again led the way with retirements.

A 'competitive ' target this was always going to come down to tight bowling and fielding and apart from a couple of blemishes the boys were on their game in the field. A great start saw Farnham 3 down in first 5 overs but rallied with next 2 batsmen retiring and a serious game was in progress. Then up stepped Tom and bowled a great spell of 3 overs for 7 runs strangling the latter Farnham run chase and leaving them with too big a mountain to climb. Sharp tight fielding throughout was instrumental in getting the win.

Well done boys and one more game to come.
