Reports on recent fixtures, as written by Russell House players.

U10/11B v King's Rochester

King's Rochester batted first. Noah made some amazing catches and a few run-outs. The whole team bowled very well and lots of us got wickets. Freddie was the best we've ever seen him, as he hit four 4s and did well in bowling. Anthony also hit four 4s. Theo E looked lively on the boundaries, making some great stops. It was Form 6's first game, so I thought they played very well. Theo H took a good wicket with his bowling. The final score was 265-282. Player of the match was Freddie for all his amazing shots. We were all really pleased with how we played together as a team. Theo H

U10/11A v King's Rochester

We played away at King's Rochester and it was a very close game, with us only just beating them in the final few balls. Zach was voted player of the match, while Euan, Harry, Jessica and Annabel also had very good all-round performances. Jake played very well, considering it was his first ever hard ball game. Kit also kept very well, as it was also his first ever hard ball game. Our fielding was good, with Euan getting a direct-hit run-out, but there weren't many big mistakes in the field. Everyone made a good contribution and we all played very well. Zachary

U8A v Solefield

We had our first away cricket match on Thursday the 7th of May. The team enjoyed their match against Solefields. It was a close match, although we lost, we still had fun. I think Orson did awesome at batting, Cyrus and Henry were amazing at bowling. Oliver and Alexander were brilliant at fielding. Cameron was amazing at batting too. We were a great team. We can all practice a bit more, just need more confidence and don't hesitate to run when you need to. Cyrus

U8B v Solefield

We had a great time, although we lost by 4 runs! The score was 276 to Russell House and 280 to Solefield. I think the player of the match was Soren because he got up and played the rest of the match even though his foot hurt a lot. I think everyone played really well, but I think we could do a lot better next time. Hugo

U11 A v St Michael's

The match against St Michael's went well, even though we lost 251-262. Everyone got at least one wicket. Zoey hit three 4s, Amelie hit two 4s and a 6 and Rosie hit a 4 and a 6. Zoey got the batter of the match and Rosie got the bowler. Everyone played to the best of their ability and put in heaps of effort. Alba

U10/11 B v St Michael's

Russell House won 280-266 against St Michael's School. We got one wicket and two 4s. They got two wickets, but then we got loads of runs. Evie

U10/11 C v St Michael's

The U10/11 C team played a very good match against St Michael's. I think our star player was Orla. We need to work on our aim a bit, but otherwise we played very well. The score was Russell House 238 and St Michael's 251. Olivia

 

U8 A v Lingfield College

The score was 237 to Russell House, but Lingfield beat us by 1 run, with 238 as their final score. The player of the match was Jessica. Lots of people stood out like Sophia, Jessica, Clara and Ela. Sophia was good at bowling and so was Jessica. Clara got a 6 and three 4s and Ela got two 4s. When we were fielding, some of us could have paid a bit more attention to the ball. Clara

U8 B v Lingfield College

The Russell House and Lingfield match was great. I thought our and Lingfield's players were great and I think Poppy and I were the best at batting, but Sadie and Caer were great at bowling. We were all great at working together and fielding, but I think we could still work on bowling. We won the match and it was all very fun. Ophelia

U10/11 A v Hilden Oaks

We played Hilden Oaks and we won, with us scoring 261 runs and them scoring 228. We bowled and batted very well, with Kit having a great spell, with 3 wickets and not many runs given away. Rory was our standout batter for the day, scoring around 15 runs for our team. Our fielding could've been slightly better, as there were a few dropped catches, but in general we played well and it was a good match. Zachary

U10/11 B v Hilden Oaks

It was the first cricket match this season, and it was more than amazing! We were playing against Hilden Oaks, who had some fast bowlers, but put up an average fight. About halfway through the match, we already had four wickets, two by Noah, one by Theo, and one by Clara. At that point, we all thought that we had a good chance to win, and we were right! We ended the match with a 268 - 223 win to us. We were so happy to win the very first match of the new season! Theo

U8 v Hilden Oaks

Hilden Oaks made 273 runs and Russell House made 251. We all tried our best. Clara took two wickets and played very well. Sophia also did really well at wicket-keeping. I think some of us could improve our bowling. Other than that, everyone played very well. We all had a great time and are excited for our next match. Jessica

U9 v Walthamstow Hall

It was a great game, but sadly we lost, as they made 292 runs and we made 281. Lara did some great batting and Emilia and Eliora did some good fielding. We all played very well! Player of the match was Modupe. Lara
