U9A Rounders Triangular v Loretto and Cargilfield

Wednesday 23rd

 A beautiful day for a rounders match and the girls were in high spirits after successful games sessions.
 
 Match 1 was against Cargilfield and Nicole (Captain) won the toss and chose to field.  Despite some decent fielding and a super catch from Olivia, Cargilfield scored 2 full rounders and a number of ½ rounders.  We went into bat requiring 7 rounders to win and although both Olivia and Zara also scored full rounders, we couldn’t match Cargilfields’ score.


 
Match 2 – Loretto won the toss and put St Marys into bat.  Again we struggled to connect strongly with the ball, only scoring one full rounder, though Lily and Celia scored ½s and Beattie, Charlotte and Tallulah were unlucky not to score due to a strong Loretto backstop – 2^nd post combination.  When fielding, Freya, back stop, sent some accurate throws to 2^nd post, stopping Loretto from scoring, though a number of poor decisions by the St Marys’ girls, after some good stops, resulted in Loretto amassing 6 rounders in total.
 
Final scores:
 
St Mary’s 3                  v          Loretto 6
St. Mary’s 3 ½             v          Cargilfield 6 ½
Loretto 4                     v          Cargilfield 2 ½
