18 May 2015

Bowden travelled to Houghton on the Hill on Friday evening and came away with 2 hard fought and well deserved victories. First up was Stoughton and Thurnby who won the toss and elected to bowl first. Bowden batted very well only losing 2 wickets throughout the innings, all 4 pairs contributing to post an impressive total of 242. S&T began slowly due to some excellent bowling by Toby Baker, Charlie Barkworth, Theo Mercer and Claudia Carnduff. S&T then brought in their big hitters and quickly began to close in on the Bowden score. 2 wickets from Henry Brammer put a brake on the scoring and Bowden held their nerve to end up victors by 2 runs. The next match was against Houghton, Bowden winning the toss and elected to bowl. Theo Mercer again bowled well with pace and accuracy as did Henry Brammer, taking another 2 wickets to help restrict the Houghton total to 215. Bowden were enthusiastic in the field with the highlight a brilliant catch in the deep by Darcey Leat, capping an excellent all round performance by her. In reply, Charlie Barkworth, Mathew Roberts, Toby Baker and Charles Lindsay were the main contributors ensuring Bowden made it home for another 2 run victory. Two great team performances on the night, well done to all.
