Under 15's beat Harborne

As another Sunday match is cancelled due to appalling weather thought it was time Under 15's success was reported.
Last Sunday 8th July saw MACC under 15's travel to Harborne (who were lying 2nd in the premier league before this match,) for once the sun was shining and all was well with the world.
We lost the toss and were put into bat. Our first three wickets were lost cheaply and with Ameer Butt, Richard Brown and Kamran Qamar all out quickly we were struggling at 24-3 and it looked unlikely that we would bat out our overs until Parminder Singh took control of events smashing everything out of the ground. Much searching in gardens for the ball followed. He scored an impressive 81 ably supported by James Rogers 47. Ashfield posted an impressive 202-9 in their 25 overs.
Harborne were out played and struggled against accurate bowling from Yassar Sadiq who took 3 wickets, Richard Brown 2 wickets and Syed Ali who managed 2 maidens in his 5 over spell.
Ashfield looked sharp in the field and put on an impressive display of teamwork. Well done to Ian Anson an Under 13 player and Tom Colesby an Under 11 player who both held their own and contributed to an impressive win. Harborne evetually made 136-8 and for once we went home feeling positive about a job well done. See what you can do when you try lads!
Thanks to Lewis and Graham for looking after the team on the day and Chelle for scoring.
Next match 22nd July at home to Moseley. Now that would be a good one to win!!
