CARSONS and Mangotsfield Cricket Club’s Under-11s have collected the club’s first silverware of the season.
Playing against Lodway in the Cup, Carsons and Mangotsfield batted first and posted 93-8.
With four overs left Lodway were 85-7, but their 8th batsman was clean bowled in the 17th over and some excellent fielding saw two further wickets, both run-outs, in the same over.
Whilst the excellent fielding turned the game in Carsons and Mangotsfield’s favour, there was also a strong performance with the bat from one player who scored 27 not out, before taking 2-10 in two overs with the ball.
The U9s are also doing well. They recently attended the Stapleton festival where they were undefeated in their games.
The club have also successfully run their All Stars Under 7 programme, with 24 children taking part. The last session took place on July 15.
