STOOLBALL: Robertsbridge Stoolball Club continue their youth policy with 3 under 14’s in their visit to Catsfield last Thursday. The hosts batted first with an opening partnership of 63 between Katey[43 retired] and Shelley[20] before Shelley was bowled by Lucy Kuhler[2-1-26]. The hosts were too strong for our young side and despite young Izzy Sullivan taking two catches from the bowling of Charlie Apps[2-2-25] Catsfield ended their 12 overs on 163-3. We lost Lou Taylor[0] first ball and Jacqui Kuhler[14] in the second over. Penny Clark[8], Lucy[10], Lisa Fifield[13] and debutant Kiera[1] all went back to the pavilion with us tottering on 59-6 but skipper Mel Mackay[9] and Charlie[18] put on 13 before Mel was bowled and then Alisha Mills[9] stayed with Charlie to put on 36 before Charlie was bowled and two runs later Alisha was caught which left Izzy[7n.o.] and Di Kitson[1n.o.] to end our innings on 117-9. The Ladies second outing was to Brightling Tournament on Sunday with again 4 under 14’s in the side. Catsfield were our first opponents and they reached 83-1 off their 4 overs and in reply Jacqui Kuhler[21], Lou Taylor[0], Lucy Kuhler[3], Mel Mackay[20n.o.] and Callum Apps[4n.o.] got us to 59. Pett were next and they reached 63-1 while in reply Jacqui[29n.o.], Lou[6], Lucy[3] and Callum[3] took us to 46. The hosts were next and they scored 92-1 which was a massive score that we would struggle to reach with our young side and it was no surprise that we only scored 45. Jacqui[2] was clean bowled second ball and then Lucy[1] and Mel[0] were both run out in the first over and when Lou[5] was caught we were 12-4 but young Callum[16] and Izzy[3] put on 15 before Izzy was run out. Alisha[3] and Di[4n.o.] ended our innings on 45. We played Icklesham in our last match too see who would come bottom as they reached 53 without loss. We lst Jacqui[2] and Callum[4] in the first over but Lou[17n.o.] and Lucy[13n.o.] could not quite get us victory as we reached 51-2. Next week the Mixed are at home to Crowhurst on Tuesday[25th] and away to Hooe on Thursday[27th] with both matches starting at 6.45p.m. while on Sunday they play at Crowhurst’ Tournament with a 10.30a.m. start.
