U13 v Atherstone (away) Cup, 31/05/09

Atherstone 154 for 2
Atherstone chose to bat and immediately went on the offensive with 3 out of their 4 openers retiring for 30. Rashurd Ali picked up the only wicket. A total of 154 was posted on this very warm day on the artificial wicket.

Kings Heath 142 for 5
Umar and Josh opened for Kings Heath knowing they had to reach their top score of the season. Both batsmen hit out and retired for 30 each. Ben Rattley came in at number 3 and stayed at the crease until the last over and also reached 30. Rashurd batted well to reach 25. The target was just too high and with the Atherstone fielders playing well on the boundaries the figure of 142 was achieved.

Atherstone go through to the next round.
