28th April 2008 - U15 v. Cannock & Rugeley

Penn U15 started the new campaign with a spring in their step. Having won the toss Penn chose to bat Oliver Slimm & Richard Drew made a good start looking to score runs at every possible opportunity. The first wicket went down when the score had reached 16 bringing Adil Jiva to the crease who went on to score an unbeaten 33.Oliver Slimm  showed  good early season touches to record a score of 21.This left the stage clear for Sunil Patel to show what a powerful hitter of a cricket ball he is by hitting two sixes in the direction of the scout hut sending the crowd running for cover.

Penn finishing on 112 for 3 off 20 overs

As the teams took to the field for the second innings the Sky started to get darker, Penn had started well with the visitors  finding it hard to score with some precise bowling  and after 11 overs the score from Cannock & Rugeley was 18 for 2, when the heavens opened the teams had to come off thinking that was it but to C&R  credit after 10 mins or so they went back on to finish the match
