Yesterday I played at Chigwell School for Essex Under 10s. We played against London Schools and Essex won !
It was supposed to be a 40 over match, but because of the bad weather it was reduced to 35 overs.
Essex won the toss and chose to bat first. We made 179 for 9 and finished at tea. Unfortunately it had started raining pretty hard and so when London came into bat, Essex found it difficult to bowl with the ball being so wet and no way of drying it off. London made 90 for 7 - I took two of the wickets. We've got some really good bowlers and 2 fantastic wicket keepers - our fielding was also very good.
At the end of the match we were all soaked but really happy to have won our first match of the season.
Next week we'll be playing Bucks at Milton Keynes, but unfortunately I can't make this match. But good luck to all of the Essex boys - here's to another fantastic win !
Congratulations Team Essex! Well done Sam for taking 2 wickets - I loved reading about your game, really well written.
