The Under 11 team played Ditcham Park on Monday in glorious sunshine on the Ditcham hill, with great views of the Isle Wight and beyond. With this setting, Alton played very good cricket. The team only conceded three wickets for 257 runs. Strong batting from Henry and Tom our openers. Sandy playing his first game of cricket defended stoutly. Knowing that our strength was our bowling department the team quickly gathered a clutch of wickets including several run-outs, which again Sandy assisted strongly. However, the bowlers conceded too many sundries if they are to each the final this year. All in all the team has began well for the season with the effective disposal of Ditcham Park who only managed 215 for 10 wickets. Sandy Head was judged man of the match, closely followed by the skipper Joel, with a brilliant "caught and bowled". Henry gained one point for his attacking batting.
