Whitchurch U13s v

THE Kingsbridge pair of Fraser and Herbert-Reed turned in a match winning performance with bat and ball to ease to victory.

Whitchurch, winning the toss and batting first, were put under intense pressure by an exceptional opening attack with Fraser, left arm, accurate and exceedingly quick, backed up by the nagging accuracy of Herbert-Reed.

Whitchurch only scored 12 runs from 8 overs and lost the vital wicket of Brereton. Honey and Gray played well but found runs hard to come by against the well disciplined bowling and fielding of Kingsbridge as Whitchurch reached 65 for 1 off their 20 overs.

When Kingsbridge batted, the openers Fraser and Herbert-Reed got off to a quick start as Whitchurch pressed too hard. Whitchurch gained some control when MacRae had Herbert-Reed well caught by Honey and the persistence was rewarded when Gray bowled Treeby, however, Fraser stood firm and when Taylor edged Davies to third man boundary a Kingsbridge win was secured.

Whitchurch man of the match: Ian Gray.

Wayfarers U17s v

Ivybridge U17s
