Goresbrook U9's 246-6 beat Ardleigh Green U9's 187 all out by 59 runs.(Terriers rules)

Goresbrook's youngest troops, containing five debutants, took to the field in sunshine on Wednesday evening. Skipper Ted Ivory lost the toss and was asked to bat by the visitors.
First pair Stanley Sleight (2*) and Albie Smith scored 12 runs in their fours overs both keeping their wickets intact, Smith hitting a boundary in his knock of 7. Brook's youngest pairing of Liam Elsom (4) and Archie Dias (0*) put on 15 in their 4 overs.
Bobby Dancer and Grace Wood (3*)added 9 for the loss of a single wicket and Kenny Huynh (6) and Daniel Goosetree (5) scored 18 for the loss of one wicket,Kenny hitting a boundary in his debut knock. Brook's experienced pairing of Ted Ivory (11) and Tyler Fredericks (7) put on 22 but both were dismissed once with Ivory playing a stylish drive for his boundary. The Youngsters totaled 246-6 from their allotted overs with 5 batsmen keeping their wickets intact.
Brook opened the bowling with Archie Dias (0-4) and Liam Elsom (0-8) with neither boy conceding a run off the bat and Dias bowling a maiden. The first wicket came courtesy of a fine running catch by Kenny Huynlt off the bowling of Bobby Dancer who also bowled a maiden in his spell (1-1). Grace Wood bowled a lovely line for no reward (0-5).
Liam Elsom and Tyler Fredericks combined for a run out before Albie Smith (1-3), bowling with good pace, comprehensively bowled his victim and although Daniel Goosetree(0-5) bowled well on debut it was his pick up and throw for a run out that set the tone for the following overs.
Kenny Huynh (4-1) bowled with phenomenal accuracy for a youngster and after Albie Smith had held a catch off him he then bowled 3 victims and effected a run out to cap a remarkable debut. Stanley Sleight (1-3)bowled a victim as well as 6 wickets fell for just 5 runs with both boys keeping it tight with a maiden apiece.
The rout was completed by two identical caught and bowleds by Ted Ivory (2-12) and a Tyler Fredericks (1-8)castling.
Coaches and parents alike were proud to have witnessed such a mature performance from this young team and might confidently expect similar or even better performances in the future.
