After the loss in the first game of the season Petersfield under 15s have bounced back winning 4 games on the bounce. Skipper Gabe Broadhurst is leading from the front ably supported by the whole team who are playing some wonderful cricket
On Tuesday this week the lads took on Burridge and restricted them to 58 before knocking them off with the loss of only 2 wickets. The bowling and fielding was high class and setup the victory where Gabe Broadhurst (not out this season at this level) scored a fluid 36 retired not out to see the lads home.
On Thursday the lads took on Sarisbury and beat them by 7 wickets restricting a team who score 192-1 last week to 91 ! Again the fielding and bowling is the big highlight of the season so far with Ben Turk leading the way with 13 wickets at 3 runs apiece!
The team has their stars but every player who has played this season has contributed in the field with catches, run outs, wickets and run saving fielding. 5 different players have retired, 8 different bowlers have picked up wickets and 3 different players have forced run outs.
As with any cricket team the success of the team comes from the captain and the way he leads the side. Gabe has stepped in to this role fantastically well to keep the tradition of good captains from the last few years at Under 15 level.
