DCC 113-10, BSM 99-8

On paper DCC under 15s had a very strong team tonight which was required as we were playing Bredbury also undefeated in the High Peak League; it's still a pleasure to come up against clubs and players who we don't know and haven't played.

DCC elected to bat and were in immediate trouble, Henrik out first ball, Fin Locke second, Max out to a ‘tight’ LBW decision for a few and James Bidwell (back from injury) for 1. Jamie Helsby and Ben Renison were now in and set about rebuilding. Jamie enjoyed some much needed and deserved time at the crease whilst Ben played with the confidence of someone who is averaging 100 for the week. He dispatched the bad ball, whilst not forgetting to respect the good ball. Such a simple game when played like that. He retired on 41 (off 28; 140runs for the week) after which followed a few more quick wickets and we were still in a bit of bother.

A quirk of High Peak is that they allow last man standing, who knows why, but on this occasion it allowed Zac Nicholson to carry on batting and he produced the most sensational innings mixing big hitting with some quality defence. Three straight sixes in the last over to a long boundary; 45 not out. It was brilliant and got us to 113, way above expectations.

We opened the bowling with Max and Rehan and they were superb, then we had excellent spells from Noah (so consistent and improved), Henrik and Zac. All did a great job and we won comfortably in the end.

A really exciting, quality game but what most impressed was the 'junior' players stepping up when needed.

The pitch was blameless although you wouldn’t think so looking at the scorecard. Crazy but fun!
