The boys bounced back from Friday's game brilliantly today against a strong Bridgwater team that has only lost once this year, pushing them all the way to the end of the game.

Bowling first we faced some exceptional batting as Bridgwater got off to a flyer. However, as ever, we persevered and slowed the run rate through the remainder of Bridgwater's innings and they finished on 139/8. Frankie bowled an excellent couple of overs to stall their innings and picked up a great caught and bowled, Will was also economical as ever as was Freddie, and Alfie finished the innings with a couple of wickets.

The run chase was well-paced, with Alfie and Jeff starting us off well. Alfie retired on 30, and some good hitting from Oscar and Herbie kept us in the game. Others all chipped in but as the run rate needed crept up, we lost wickets and came up short with 113 all out.

However, this was a great team performance, and will hopefully give the boys a good boost. Well done to joint players of the match Alfie and Frankie!
