Youth Cricket returns to Shaw's Bridge |
Sunday 19th July saw the return of youth cricket matches to Shaw’s Bridge. On the top deck, Holywood U11s batted first. A spritely start by Holywood was curtailed by some accurate Inst bowling. Holywood amassed a total of 76 in the pairs format. Pick of the bowlers were Anna Ellerby, David Agnew and Luke Crothers. Great to see debutants Vidhath Geddam and Nicholas Shaw bowling really well. In reply, we ended up with 160 with Nicholas Doran top scoring. Meanwhile, on the bottom deck, a strong performance by the 13s led to a 100+ run winning margin. Instonians 183-2 (G Craigan 30*, M Willmott 32*, B McCausland 30*, D Henry 30*, D Bonass 21*) The most pleasing thing across both matches was that all the kids had an opportunity after a long break due to Covid 19! Thanks to Holywood for the matches and great to see the boys and girls enjoying their cricket. |
