U13s finish their season in style

Well done lads
- Pete Lincoln
Last week saw Elstead's U13s play their final two matches of the season. On Monday they travelled to Aldershot with only 9 players, but still restricted the hosts to 118 for 9 off their 20 overs. Harry, Joe R, Spike and Alex all bowling well and taking wickets.
Alex and Joe L opened the batting brilliantly and it was left to Luke and Ollie L to finish it off, chasing down the target in the 16th over.
Then, on a scorching Saturday morning, they took on Wood Street on the greenest wicket seen for many a year. Joe L, opening the bowling, sent the stumps flying on the first ball of the day and followed this up with another clean bowled on his 4th ball. Harry, Alex, Joe S.A. and Ollie L also bowled accurately, taking wickets and giving away few runs. A stumping and two runs outs finished off the hosts for 102 runs all out.
Elstead were clearly keen to get home for the football, as they set about the run chase with some powerful shots, hitting 16 fours and 2 sixes in reply. It was finished in style in the 12th over, with a massive six into the woods from Olly R.
Elstead are currently sitting at the top of of Div 2, with 5 wins and 2 losses. However, they could be overtaken by Brook, if they win their final two matches of the season.
Well done to the boys for another successful season.
