Saints Under 9 side competed in the North Birmingham club Tournament at Walmley on Monday and demonstrated the talent within this age group. In their first match they struggled against an experienced Walmley team and lost by 30 runs. For many of the kids, this was their first competitive match and although they bowled and fielded well, they struggled batting in particular running between the wickets. Having talked through how we could improve the kids performed superbly against Sutton scoring a useful 249 runs with William George, George Westlake and Oliver Tarr all hitting the ball cleanly. In response Sutton were well behind the rate with Harry Taylor and Nat Longhorne bowling particularly well but a great innings by the Sutton captain, hitting 3 fours off the last over meant Saints lost off the last ball of the match. The final game against Aston Manor saw Saints determined to win and they did so comfortably by 20 runs. The bowling stars were James Morley and Andrew Robson, as Saints restricted Manor to just 221 runs. In reply Saints batsman cut loose with entertaining knocks from Raul Ram and Arjun Goswami. Saints finished 3rd in the tournament and will play later in the year in the Warwickshire County Cup.
