Swindon |
The Under 13's began their
season against Swindon on the all weather pitch following a late change of venue.
Batting first, Swindon made 152 for 3 wickets. Jamie Penton was the pick of the bowlers
with 1 for 13 from 7 overs but new arrival James Howells made a promising debut with 1 for
22.
In reply Biddestone could never quite keep up with the rate and needed a middle order
recovery from Liam Boulton (24) and Jamie Penton (13). Frankie Foston survived an exciting
last over to leave the home side on 106 for 8. Winning draw and 6 points. |
