Reduced overs and reduced runs

We arrived at ‘top of the league’ Rothley Park with only 10 players, but fortunately due to a cancellation elsewhere we were able to secure 11. Things then turned from bad to worse, as the heavens opened, meaning a delayed start and reduced overs to 30! Our openers, Simran Dehal and Imogen Wakeford, made a good start, but with accurate bowling and tight fielding from Rothley Park, meant that runs were hard to come by. Although some great defensive play from all, we just couldn’t find the gaps. This pattern followed on until Danielle Brockwell came in, scoring a solid 17 not out.
With Horton making 46 off of their 30 overs, we then went out to field, before the heavens opened yet again!
Our opening bowlers, Freya Humphrey and Honor Austin made a good start, Freya taking the first wicket, with an amazing catch from Clara Wakeford, which would have given Ben Stokes a run for his money! This catch then being nominated for a fielding award by the Umpires. Well done, Clara! A further 2 wickets taken by Honor Austin, was too little too late, as Rothley ended up 50 for 3 off of 8.1 overs.
A great team effort by all against a very strong side. Thank you to all involved and to Carole for scoring.
