On Sunday Horton House played Charlbury, they won the toss and elected to field despite having to start with 10 due to traffic.
Opening the batting was Simran Dehal and Abigail Passmore. We had an unlucky early wicket; however, it did result in Sophie Bendon coming into bat creating an excellent partnership with Simran Dehal getting Horton to a good start. The fall of our second wicket bought in Dannielle Brockwell who continued with Sophie Bendon to the end. It was a Brilliant innings with Horton scoring 243. Well done to Simran Dehal’s 40, Danielle Brockwell’s 69* and Sophie Bendon’s fantastic 89!
Opening the bowling was Honor Austin and Poppy Bevan, bowling exceptionally well and getting 2 wickets each. Danielle also received 3 crucial wickets. Simran Dehal and Tiya Patel getting one each, resulting in all our bowlers getting one. In addition, there were some great fielding performances with Vickie Hilton getting involved and Sophie Bendon’s clean run out.
During the game it was without a doubt that Horton were encouraging and supportive throughout. Therefore, it was no surprise that Horton won the game and were able to receive all bonus points.
Thank you to all those involved and helping our team, from scoring to the teas we couldn’t do it without you.
Well done Horton for a great team effort and another win. It was well deserve
