v Akeley Wood

Maidwell 283

Akeley Wood 265

The boys started their first game of the season very well; after losing the toss they put on a dominant batting display. The outstanding pair of Harry Simpson and George Plant looked incredible while out in the middle. Maidwell finished with an impressive total of 283; we bowled and fielded very well, restricting the Akeley Wood batting line-up to 265, with the pick of the bowlers being Harry Chubb and Max Wilson. A great start to the season and plenty for the boys to build on.

v Stoneygate

After winning the toss the boys of Maidwell decided to bat first and had a shocking first over as they were out twice. The boys however recovered very well and put in a strong batting display to post a respectable total of 283 runs. In reply Stoneygate started strongly and were helped by some very wild Maidwell bowling. The most outstanding bowler was George Plant who gave away only two runs off his over. Unfortunately Maidwell were unable to take any wickets and Stoneygate ended up winning with 310 runs. There is plenty of room for improvement and the boys will be looking forwards to there next match.

vs The Grove

After losing the toss the boys were sent into bat and came out playing all their shots as they piled on the runs. All the boys were outstanding with the bat, with 6 of the 18 overs producing more than 10 runs from on their way to a score of 327. Unlike the match before the boys put in a brilliant bowling and fielding display taking 6 wickets and Max Wilson bowled a wicket maiden. It was a great result as The Grove were restricted to 263 runs, resulting in a huge victory for Maidwell. Well done to all the boys on such a great game.

vs Bilton Grange

The boys were sent into bat first and immediately made a great start with Max Wilson and Will Shields-Porterfield scoring 54 runs in 5 overs. This trend continued as Maidwell piled on the runs to post a final total of 349. Maidwell put on another dominant bowling display with George Plant bowling particularly well. A brilliant display from all the boys.

vs Swanbourne House

Maidwell for once were able to bowl first and again put on a brilliant display with the ball, bowling straight and accurate. The fielding was excellent in throughout most of the innings however towards the end the boys let Swanbourne pile on the runs, finishing with 290. Maidwell in reply immediately started well with 18 off the first over, however the game was always tight as the boys slowly got closer to the target. Maidwell finished with a final score of 300 to win by 10 runs.

vs Spratton Hall

Maidwell bowled first and restricted Spratton to 146 in this Kwik Cricket match. The boys bowled and fielded well taking wickets at just the right time. Our batters were sensible on their approach and passed the Spratton total without too many incidents to win the match.

vs Bedford

Maidwell 284

It was a delightfully sunny afternoon for cricket and the boys had a great game. Bedford batted first and we fielded. Every boy both bowled and kept wicket for two overs. Max Wilson and George Plant bowled particularly well. A bit of throwing and catching practice wouldn't go amiss before next time, though. When it came to batting, I was even more impressed. Peter, Alex, Will, Leo, Harry Stroud and Ralph all did really well. They should great keeness and enthusiasm and looked very professional in their pads and helmets.
