Sibton Park U11s took part in the Kent 6 a side Junior Cricket Festival at St Lawrence and Highland Court on Monday - and won the Plate competition.

This much postponed match was once again in jeopardy, after heavy overnight rain had made the main square at the Park, unplayable. Thank goodness for the new junior ground and the artificial, which provides a good test for both batsman and bowler.

 
Josh lost the toss for the nth time this year ( Jacob -- think you are the only Skipper this year to win the toss -- and that was only on one occasion ! ) and so we were bowling first on a day when you could smell runs in the air !

Hawkinge hadn't won a game in the League all season, so it came as a relief when they won the toss and inserted the boys on a decent track -- I felt that we had a chance to post our best total of the season to date and I wasn't going to be disappointed.

Juniors

A number of the boys had returned, in the early hours of Saturday morning, from a school trip to Venice - and is showed in a downbeat display at the Grove on Sunday.


 
Josh made it clear that he wanted to chase on this occasion, but the decision was taken away from him, when schoolmate Joe Shields won the toss and inserted the Park. There were a few nerves flying around -- and a bit of friendly sledging too, which did for Josh early on in an edgy display from him. But Cammy took advantage of some wayward Hythe bowling, to post his top score and retire for the first time this season - and with good support from Charles, Michael and James towards the end of the innings, we managed to reach 94 for 8 in our allotted 20 overs.

On a rain affected Sunday morning the boys put up a good perfomance but came up second best against a good Sandwich team currently top of the table unbeaten.

Bowling first everyone did well; with Harry W, Josh W-W and current leading wicket taker Ben Fairclough all amongst the wickets.  There were also good run-outs from Jack W and Henry R.  George bowled well again, Jonathan S continued his fine form behind the stumps and Seth took a good catch - so everyone contributed well. However Sandwich had strength in depth and managed to score 324 in their 20 overs.
