Fakenham Lancastrians beat the Bradenham Bears in the Bob Carter Junior Cup (under 17s) on Sunday in a 36 over match.... On a glorious sunny day at Bradenham, Fakenham batted first on a pitch which played well, the outfield had a bit too much grass on it so boundaries were not going to be easy. Aaron Spillett 0 and Jacob Seed 93* opened the batting Aaron unfortunatly chipped the first ball to square leg. Ryan Bird came to the crease and Seed and Bird did very well against the opening bowler B Stolworthy who was fast and accurate Ryan dismissed on 6... James Phillipson 9 battled well but found it difficult to score eventually bowled by Stolworthy.. Aaron Riseborough 10 helped to shift the pace along before hauling out..Capt Toby Hood tried to push the score along with quick singles but a good slower ball from Stolworthy undone him.. Terance Bird 30* then batted very well to push the score to 176...(ok now for the unbiased stuff from a Dad!!!) Jacob held the innings together scoring consistantly well throughout his innings particularly against the good bowling of Stolworthy... boundaries were not easy but he managed 11 fours in his innings of 93*. Great Batting and a proud Father!!
When Fakenham took to the field Toby Hood was magnificent in his captaincy... good encouragement and control of the side ...good change of bowling got wickets... oh and he bowled well also...oh and two catches..Tanveer Singh Bowled well again getting the opener out... Terance Bird was on fire with good aggresive bowling taking 3 wickets for 8 in 4 overs.. supported well by his brother Ben who although did not take a wicket bowled 3 overs for 15... Aaron Riseborough also contributed with 4 overs for 16.... Yin Lo 4.2 overs 13 for 1 .... Hoody made a good change of bowling bringing on Luke Corwall who dismissed B Stolworthy 45 with is first ball which took the inside edge and Jacob took the catch low down by his feet. Luke Bowled only bowled 2 overs but took 3 wickets...sharp fielding at the end resulted in a last wicket run out... great team performance!
