Under 11s continue winning ways
Bredon’s Under 11s continued their winning ways with victory over Ashton
Bredon Under 11s registered their fourth consecutive win of the season with a comfortable victory over Ashton at the picturesque Birlingham Cricket Club.
Wins against Alcester and Ragley, Kineton and Overbury were backed up by a really good team performance against Ashton.
An excellent effort in the field, including great catching and backing up, restricted Ashton to 223.
There may not have been the 16 wickets taken against Overbury the previous Sunday, but the team’s togetherness and attitude was excellent.
Bredon’s reply was a well measured and sensible effort that contained some excellent shots and some (surprisingly) good running between the wickets.
All of the pairs batted well, and the runs of Felix Hyett, Alex McMillan and Tom Washbourne ensured that Bredon remained comfortably ahead of the target for most of the innings and saw the team through to a 41-run victory.
Lots more cricket to be played this season, but it’s great to see the kids having fun and playing so well as a team!

Call for volunteers for junior cricket coaching
Junior cricket training at Bredon will begin shortly and the club is finalising coaching arrangements for the 2018 season.
The club is run by volunteers and welcomes offers of help from any of our members.
This season we particularly need help with our under 11 age group (children in school years 5 and 6).
This is the largest group of children we have at the club and we would welcome any help, particularly with coaching sessions on a Friday night or matches on a Sunday morning.
Without parental help it will prove increasingly difficulty for the club to provide cricketing opportunities for children in this age group.
If you think that you may be able to help in any capacity then please do not hesitate to contact me using the form below.

There were words of praise, too, for Neil, who has led the club through a season of great achievement.

Friendly challenge for Under 15s and Under 13s
Bredon Cricket Club’s Under 15s and Under 13s sides (with some extras thrown in) met for a 20-over friendly match at a blustery Hill Close this evening.
The younger players batted first and soon put a decent figure on the scoreboard. With wickets to spare they could have battled even more adventurously, but in the end settled for 111.
The Under 15s were unsettled by some good bowling and fielding, and with the evening temperature falling rapidly could not match the tempo set by their opponents, posting a total of 63 runs.
Brave shield final battle from Under 13s
Bredon batted first on a green wicket with variable bounce meaning scoring runs was difficult.
But the boys defended well, taking opportunities when they arose.
Alcester and Ragley bowled tightly with pace and bounce, as they have all season.
Bredon battled on, only losing three wickets with a finishing total of 268.
Bredon came out to bowl full of energy with the sort of good spirit they have shown all season.
Some great opening bowling lifted their confidence with a near catch just going over the hands of a fielder.
Alcester fought well, pushing nearer to the total with a strong batting line up.
Bredon took four wickets in two overs with a hat-trick chance that brought them back into the match.
Alcester moved to the 268 target with some big blows from the last pair, but Bredon fought right to the last ball, holding their heads high with a great performance by all players.
They ended up taking six wickets, which was a great positive to take from the match, and defended their wicket in difficult situations.
Alcester had not lost a game all season so were very strong opponents to come up against in this 2017 Cotswold Hills League shield final.
Thanks to all the squad and parents for your support so far and for the rest of the season. The boys did Bredon Cricket Club, me and themselves very proud.
