Losing the toss and being put into bat on a tricky green wicket Ruben M and Reece D stood up to the task with 6 runs on the board before Ruben was bowled to a good Yorker. Then in came Somerset county player Tilly H who to no surprise quickly started to dispatch of the Year 8 bowling attack.
.
Tilly and Reece batted well together however after a few overs Reece got a good in-swing ball taking out his off peg, leaving the score at 23-2. The next batter sent in was captain Myles K who smashed three 4s in a row to quickly remind Haygrove School that this wasn’t over! Tilly and Myles took the score to 51 before Myles was bowled by another quick in-swinger.

Next into bat was Somerset county player Freyja WF, with the biggest pads she could fine Freyja shaped up well however got the ball of the century to remove her off stump talking the score to 62-5. Herbie F, Ali R and Thimath T managed to add a few runs in their batting efforts leaving the last few overs to Lilly C and Croyde H (debut). These two batted amazingly and took the score to 87 in 20 overs. A good score on a very hard wicket to bat on.

The second innings was a Pyrland masterclass, With Herbie F stepping up to take the first over, he took a wicket in his 2nd ball to start things off.
