Petersfield U14 Girls v Fair Oak

Petersfield U14 Girls v Fair Oak 25th June 2012 Batting first Petersfield openers Lorna Williams and Olivia Wadey started well and were only denied more runs by the bigger than normal pitch and a slow outfield. After Olivia was caught at gully and captain Jess Grange quickly departed the middle order all looked settled but failed to convert their time at the crease into runs. Things started to look serious when Lorna was finally dismissed for an excellent 12 leaving Petersfield 38 for 6 however an excellent partnership between Katie Pegden and Mille Wright took the Petersfield score to 58 for 7 from our 16 overs. In reply Fair Oak batted conservatively but took the singles and extras as they could. Emma Barrett took another wicket with her leg spin but overall we failed to build pressure on the opposition and despite hitting only one scoring shot for more than one run Fair Oak ran out winners reaching their target after 14 overs for the loss of 4 wickets. Lorna Williams top scored with 12 runs and Katie Pegden and Emma Barrett led the bowling figures.
