Report on the Milton CC Under 13 match v. St Giles 5.5.05
Milton 133 for 5 St Giles 151 for 8 – Lost by 18 runs
First match of the season saw Milton at home to St Giles A on a gloomy evening. St Giles won the toss, batted first, scoring 151 for 8 whilst having the better of the light. Milton got off to the worst possible start losing 3 wickets for 1 run in the first over. A partnership of 73 runs by Michael Franklin and Liam Dye for the forth wicket helped bring Milton back into the game. However with light deteriorating by the over 151 runs was just too tall an order. Milton eventually finished on 133 for 5 losing by just 18 runs against a very good team.
