Report on the Milton CC Under 13 match v. Longstanton 9/6/05
Milton 140 for 5 Longstanton 104 for s - Won by 36 runs
Milton’s innings got off to a flyer with George Sanderson (19 runs) and Luke Saunders (40 runs) putting 43 on the score sheet for the first wicket off 5 overs. Further good batting from Will Conlon (23 runs) saw Milton finish with a good score of 140 for 5 from their 20 overs. Tight accurate bowling from Will Conlon (4 overs 1 wkt for 6), Stuart Kelsey (2 overs 2 wkts for 3) and Liam Dye (4 overs 1 wkt for 7) kept Longstanton down to 51 for 5 in the first 14 overs. They hit out in the remaining 6 overs and ended on 104 for 6 with their opening batsman not out on 73. Some sloppy fielding toward the end helped their score but overall another solid performance (with room for improvement).
