On a sunny Sunday morning, the Newdigate U13 Knights delivered a commanding performance against Merstham U13s, securing a 91-run victory. Opting to bat first, the Knights posted a formidable total of 143 for 5 in their 20 overs.
The innings was anchored by impressive contributions from Fraser McLean (30 off 31 balls) and Isaac Grant (32 off 20 balls), both showcasing excellent shot selection and running between the wickets. Ethan Letts provided a late surge with an unbeaten 21 off 19 balls, ensuring a challenging target for the opposition.
In response, Merstham struggled against a disciplined Newdigate bowling attack, managing only 52 runs. The Knights' bowlers maintained tight lines and lengths, with the wickets being shared around all the 7 bowlers used.
However, the two most pleasing aspects of the fielding performance was seeing the Extras dropping to a record low of just 13, and that all the wickets taken were bowled, which is a testament to all the hard work from training sessions starting to pay off, long may it continue.
Newdigate U13 Knights will face Tadworth on Sunday at Newdigate. Let's continue the momentum!
