JUNIOR CRICKET GOING FROM<br />
STRENGTH TO STRENGTH IN UCKFIELD<br />
by Peter Holman<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong> junior cricketers<br />
attended their first under<br />
10’s soft ball tournament<br />
in Pevensey last weekend.<br />
The weather was kind<br />
and with England in<br />
the World Cup final on<br />
the same day, cricket<br />
was at the forefront of<br />
everyone’s mind.<br />
After a short warm up,<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong> opened up against<br />
Polegate and Stone Cross<br />
batting first and scored<br />
255 with Zachary Holman<br />
staring with the bat.<br />
Polegate finished with<br />
262, winning by 7 runs. In the second<br />
game against Hastings, <strong>Uckfield</strong> batted<br />
second and scored 268 with Hastings<br />
being restricted to 261 after some<br />
excellent bowling from David Newman<br />
including a maiden over and a wicket.<br />
Roberstbridge were too strong in the<br />
last game and <strong>Uckfield</strong> finished with 1<br />
win and 2 losses.<br />
The full <strong>Uckfield</strong> side was: William<br />
Morgan, Lucas O’Neill, Zachary<br />
Holman, Imogen Holman, David<br />
Newman, Jacob Causton and William<br />
Newman.<br />
Coaches Peter and Samantha Holman<br />
said “We were so proud to see our<br />
juniors compete. They all worked so<br />
hard and showed a great amount of<br />
sportsmanship. We are keen to get them<br />
playing more matches and hope to<br />
organise some friendly games against<br />
other local teams in the coming weeks.”<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong> junior cricket is at the Victoria<br />
every Saturday morning, 10.30 – 11.30<br />
until 3rd <strong>August</strong>. For more information<br />
