Copdock & Old Ipswichian Cricket Club Copdock Hawks U11 v East Bergholt Gold on Fri 14 Jun 2024 at 18:00
Copdock & Old Ipswichian Cricket Club Won by 28

Match report A good match, saved from the elements by the hard-working Copdock ground staff.

Batting first, we made a very slow start, the first over being played out as a maiden. We then gradually started to speed up, but the scoring rate was never particularly high against a greatly improved (over recent years) East Bergholt bowling attack and fielding display. We finished our 18 overs with a score of 96-6 (68 runs of the bat and 28 in extras), with highest scorers Marcus (27 off 25 balls) and Isaac (14 off 13 balls), who both got to come in for a second stint, and a typical quick-fire cameo performance from Theo (11 off 9 balls), although accompanied by the seemingly obligatory swipe across the line to be bowled first ball (thank goodness for Super 8's rules).

With East Bergholt starting on 30-0 due to their 6 wickets taken, we therefore had a fairly low score to defend. However, I shouldn't have worried, as after a first over from Marcus going for just 2 runs for 4 wickets (including a hat-trick on the first 3 balls of the innings), East Bergholt were always playing catch-up. Whilst the bowling was generally good, and the good balls from all bowlers were very good, overall we do suffer with consistency and the winning margin of 28 was mainly due to wickets taken (10 vs 6) rather than runs, with Copdock shipping 44 runs in extras in comparison to EB's 28. Best bowling figures were obviously recorded by Marcus, who ended with 5-5 off 3 overs, wickets also taken by Teddy and Alex and good to reasonable economy for all bowlers.

The fielding was energetic and thoughtful (I can't remember any overthrows), although with my umpire's hat on, the over appealing starts to get a bit tedious!

Special mention to Isaac (one of our better bowlers), who volunteered to keep wicket and certainly helped keep down the number of extra runs off the abundance of wide balls thrown down.

All in all a good performance from the boys, promising much for future matches, so long as the weather enables us to play the rest of our fixtures.
