St Faiths vs Felsted

Felsted are one of the schools that are excellent in sport, but we still had high hopes for that away match after coming from a comfortable win over St. Johns.

We won the coin toss and chose to bowl first, so that when we batted, we knew what score we needed to beat in order to win.. We started well, collecting wickets every so often. Unsurprisingly, Toby, our best bowler, took most of them.

Suddenly,a pair of middle order batsmen started a rhythm of quick singles and sensible batting. They scored many, many runs and our confidence began to droop. However, once Toby had bowled one of them out, we started our bowling rhythm again. This was not enough, though, as Felsted scored a massive 137 runs.

After tea, we started batting to get as many runs as possible. Felsted's bowlers were excellent, though, and they held us at 97 runs all out. It was a disappointing day for the B team.
