Dunnington President Pat Wood was in charge of the visitors for the day and his Grandson made the most of his competitive debut at the Costcutter Cricket ground. Tom Loton made the first 50 witnessed at the ground in U9 cricket. Batsmen bat in pairs for just 4 overs in U9 cricket so Tom's achievement is remarkable. He hit six 4's and three 6's in his total of 52. Pocklington went on to post the highest U9 total seen so far at 340 (360-4). Chris Pryer took 1-24, Rory Thompson 1-32 & George Ray 1-17. Captain Rosie Todd top scored with 5 in the reply of 193 (243-10).

Yet more signs of improvement from the B team, the fielding and batting were excellent on the night. Rosie Todd again top scored with 19 but most made a valuable contribution. Rory Thompson (6), Will Prince (5), Joel Barwick (4), David Grieves (7), Will Dalton (6) all did well in the total of 262 (277-3). Heworth proved to be a good batting side scoring 307 (327-4) to win. Will Dalton took 1-7 and there were 3 run outs.

Congratulations to the U9B team who have been steadily improving all season and have now won their first match. A cracking game saw them win on the last ball, passing Acomb's total of 275 (295-4). All four batting pairs deserve praise. Rosie Todd (20) & Chris Pryer (3) got us off to a good start, without losing any wickets, Josh Barwick (4) & Findlay Dawson (3), kept up momentum and importantly didn't lose a wicket. Will Prince (13) & David Grieves (8) picked up the pace and left the final pair to make 19. Will Dalton (8) & Harrison Mussell (9) kept a cool head despite losing one wicket to win by 2 runs. The bowling & fielding were tight & eager and Will Dalton took a fine caught and bowled. Three runs outs turned out to be vital in the final result.

In a repeat of last week’s match the U9A team defeated Stamford Bridge. Once again victory was achieved by the final batting duo of Jack Spofforth (14) & Will Jones (12) who came in with 18 needed for victory. They reached the target & played out the final two balls for another good victory. Good bowling from Spofforth (3-5), Jones (1-1), Will Hall (1-5) & Ellie Chipps (1-6) set up the team, with Stamford restricted to just 227.

The team performed superbly at the Heworth 6's. The highlight was a score of 256, the highest of any team on the day, against Sheriff Hutton Bridge. Qualifying for the semi finals as best runners up, after they were beaten on the last ball of their final group game by Osbaldwick. The Semi final saw them facing Osbaldwick in a repeat match. This time the bowling & fielding was very tight restricting Osbaldwick to just 220. In a tense finish, Osbaldwick edged the match after Dunnington lost 3 wickets and couldn't quite overcome the 15 run penalty. Despite being devasted at losing, the young team did fantastically well and can take great pride at their performance in their first tournament.
