ECB County Championship Final

Shropshire U15s V Huntingdonshire U15s

Langtons CC 25^th August 2009

Hunts were outclassed by what Dave and I considered to be one of the best teams we have seen at this age group. After loosing the toss, Hunts started well having Shropshire 8 for 2 in the 3^rd over with Joe Dawborn on a hat-rick. Shropshire grafted to re-build their innings with some no risk cricket, which included some fantastic running between the wickets which put huge pressure on the Hunts fielders. Shropshire’s J. Hudson-Williams going on to make 105 out of a score of 300 for 9 in their 50 overs.

Hunts were never in the game after loosing early wickets to some quality bowling. Unfortunately Hunts kept loosing wickets the last 7 for just 5 runs to finish on 42 for 10 in 21.5 overs. It was a fantastic occasion for the boys to play in an ECB Final we lost to a very good side on the day the boys should be proud of what they have achieved this season.

Well done to the boys! - To Dave and all the other coaching staff! - Mr Lowin and all the other parents who have helped a very successful U15s team this season!!
