Under 11 Softball tournament at Olton 17 August 2008
Played 3 won 1 lost 2.
An enjoyable afternoons cricket for our under 11's in a new softball tournament. We only won one game but we beat the eventual winners of our group- Dorridge. After a slow start in our first game we learnt that a mixture of tip and run and hard hitting would bring us runs. We held most of our catches and found that the straighter we bowled the more wickets we took !
Leading run scorer Rosscot 33- with 6 fours
Highest scorer Pardeep 21 v Dorridge
Most wickets Mohammad Aslam 4
Highest partnership 26 v Dorridge Pardeep 21 and Sam Ryland 4 *
Well done to all the under 11's who played and Sam and Shaun from the under 10's as well.
Thanks to Fran and Shokat for helping out with scoring and umpiring.
NOTE: Solihull Municipal won the tornament - and Kings Heath were the only team to beat them!!!
Monday 21st July U13 League Kings Heath vs Harborne (Home)
Kings Heath 114/1 in 20 overs (Sean Brown 39*, Tom Salliss 28*, Josh Baker 21)
Harborne 114/5 in 20 overs (Callum Williamson 50*)
Kings Heath won on fewer wickets lost
This was a cracking game played in a good spirit. It was exciting all the way through and with Harborne needing two runs to win off the last ball it could have gone either way. They only managed to get one run so the game was won by Kings Heath, by merit of fewer wickets lost.

U13 League
Monday 23rd June
Bournville 84 for 8 off 20 overs
Kings Heath 75 for 7 off 20 overs
Bournville win by 9 runs
Bournville won the toss and decided to bat first on a bright, sunny
evening. Bournville started steadily although they found early runs hard
to come by due to some fine bowling from Josh Hunt-Stewart and Jack
Wadelin. Good bowling from Louie Turpie and Rashurd Ali also kept the
pressure on the batsmen but two good partnerships in the Bournville middle
order forced their total up to 84 for 8 after 20 overs. Josh Hunt-Stewart
(1 - 3), Louie Turpie (1 - 5) and Rashurd Ali (2 - 12) were the pick of the
Kings Heath bowlers.
In reply, Kings Heaths openers Josh Baker, who played some fine shots, and
Tom Salliss, made a steady start reaching 32 after 10 overs. This should
have been a solid platform to build on but once the first wicket fell, Josh
Baker (13), Kings Heath started to wobble. Sean Brown (4) came and went
quickly as did Louie Turpie (1) and Rashurd Ali who was out without
troubling the scorers. When Tom Salliss (14) was caught the runs started
to dry up and Kings Heath started to fall behind the run rate. Despite a
good late effort from Sultan Afzal (16), Will Hughes (4) and Elliot Clarke
(6) Kings Heath fell 10 runs short of victory after their 20 overs and
suffered their first league defeat of the season.
Rashurd Ali 3ovs 2 wickets for 12 runs
Josh Hunt-Stewart 4ovs 1 wicket for 3 runs
Louie Turpie 4ovs 1 wicket for 5 runs
Jack Wadelin 3ovs 1 wicket for 11 runs
