Report of the DNA cricket for the last two games:
19th June 2006: DNA vs Eld Lane by Ian Hobbs
Another glorious Monday evening and DNA had their 3rd game of the season. Eld Lane were the opponents and DNA were seeking revenge for three close defeats to Eld Lane last year!
Eld Lane battled first and their openers began well but DNA's bowlers were up to the challenge. Young Aidan bowled very well and Sam put in a solid performance gaining some vital early wickets. Enoch and Steve also took important wickets. Jon, Simon and Christian all made important bowling contributions meaning that by the end of the 20 overs Eld Lane had set DNA a target of 79. John (Butch) once again was fantastic in his position behind the wicket and claimed a really good catch! The fielding performance also held keep Eld Lane at bay with good fielding displays from Connor, Ian and Ben.
Jon and Ben opened the batting for DNA. Ben started well and was unlucky to be caught out by one of Eld Lane bowlers. Jon started promisingly but was unfortunate to be bowled out early. Butch and Sam then put up a solid partnership gaining many important runs. Tom batted well and played some rather nice strokes. Enoch batted very well hitting some key boundaries to increase DNA's score. From a tricky 37/5 Aidan batted extremely well and showed great skill and maturity to see the team through. Enoch hit the winning runs to beat Eld Lane. The whole team looks forward to maintain its 100% winning record.
Keep cheering your team!
3rd July 2006: DNA vs Gates
It was another splendid performance by the lads and the Hannah our inspirational lady! Having scored 101/8 in 20 overs DNA controlled the game to restrict Gates to 86/6 to win by 15 runs. The youth in the team did most of the scoring with Aidan playing a mature knock of 13, Christian blasted away with a quick 17 and Ben smashed away to 18 not out. Great wicket keeping by Ben also contributed to the victory. Overall it was a team performance from a young side that is growing in confidence. The evening was rounded with a prayer of thanks by Christian for the wonderful evening.
Next game: 17th July vs Eld Lane
