Under 13 v Hampshire Under 13's
Hampshire were easy winners in Devon's match at Totton & Eling CC on a hot and sunny day near Southampton.
With a hard pitch and fast outfield, batting first was an easy decision to make after winning the toss. At 126 for 2 you would have been forgiven for thinking Devon were in the driving seat! A good stand between James Degg (41) and Max Mejner (86) looked to have set a strong foundation. But with only 7 overs remaining Devon needed to get on top of what had already been a very useful Hampshire bowling attack.
It was hard for new batters to attack immediately and with wickets falling at regular intervals in the final overs, Devon reached a well under par 165 for 5. The highlight of the Devon innings was a personal best score of 86 for Max Mejner who batted sensibly, chipping the infield and accumulating a score. He was well supported by James Degg in their stand of 108.
The Hamsphire innings began well for them and badly for Devon as they put on 89 for the first wicket. It had take 21 overs however. Disappointing only one other wicket was taken before the opposition crossed the finishing line with more than 2 overs to spare and 8 wickets in hand.
It was a little disappointing not to have performed to a higher standard against good opposition and on a good pitch, but credit must be given to Hampshire who out bowled and batted us on this occasion. Hopefully we can turn the tables on them at the Taunton Festival in the rematch!
Devon 165-5 (M Mejner 86, J Degg).
Hampshire 168-2 (J Onley-Gregson 13-1) Full scorecard
