1st Team Rounders
After last week’s defeat, sedbergh were looking for a win against Ampleforth. Batting first, they scored 5 rounders from big hits and taking risks.

Sedbergh did not fumble when fielding and any ball that came their way was caught, leaving Ampleforth struggling to match the score. Sedbergh stayed focused and on top of their game in the 2nd innings as well scoring 7 rounders, 2 full rounders by Lucy Grinstead.

The final score was 12-4 to sedbergh. 

U15 Rounders V Pocklington and Ampleforth 
A win and a loss for the U15 rounders team on Saturday. First game was a close affair with a narrow loss v Pocklington 7 1/2 to 5 1/2.  Some devastating bowler backstop first post work by Freeborn, Mahon and Twiddle kept Pocklington to only 2 rounders in their first innings however our own hesitant batting and running left us level going into the 2nd innings.

Clinical batting saw the Pocklington Captain take two rounders at the start of the second innings with Sedbergh struggling to find their fielding rhythm with a couple of missed throws and catches.  Dobson was last man standing but unfortunately could not make up the three rounders needed. A close pressured game with exciting skills displayed by both teams.

Ampleforth game was less demanding producing an easier 12-4 win for Sedbergh. Davis did well at 2nd post to cut out Ampleforth runs and Preston continued her 2nd deep display of accurate throwing, a comfortable and pleasing win against our local rivals. 

U14s v Pocklington 
WON 25 – 12 1/2
The U14s played very well against Pocklington. Grace Sykes and Amy Lewin managed to clear the ball past all fielders on all their hits which saw the rounders come flooding in. A solid performance from all.

U14s v Ampleforth
WON 13 1/2 – 6
Ampleforth were not a particularly strong team but Sedbergh stepped up and closed the 2nd innings very quickly with Amy Lewin bowler, Grace Sykes backstop and Lucy Bailey 2nd base working very well together to move the ball quickly to prevent any runners scoring, a good display of skills again, well done girls on a successful Saturday.
