Under 13’s win Stage 1 Inter-County in Norwich

Our U13’s team comfortably beat Norfolk, Essex and Suffolk on Sunday 25 October. Arriving early the team prepared well physically and mentally for the task ahead. Although fielding the top two U13 players in the Region, Laurence Green and Tim Richards, the team was relatively inexperienced and we knew the matches needed to be won in the lower playing orders and we couldn’t take anything for granted.

Alex O’Sullivan playing at three won all his matches with his new found fitness. Hamish Gillams playing at four listened carefully to the advice and showed his true potential for the future again winning all three matches. Freddy Sapone was the only player to drop one match and then it went to five games. He fought well and the game against Essex could have gone either way.

George Dearlove played number six and got some very useful experience at playing at this level. Unfortunately Matthew Griffith was unable to join the team due to sickness.
The team enjoyed the day which will very well supported by parents. We are planning to get a number of practice sessions in before Stage 2 in January which will undoubtedly field stronger opposition.

Very well done to our U13’s.

U13 Team Manager
