Cricket - Victory at last

Timothy's cricket team this season, the Takapuna Eagles, consists mainly of newbys and as a result is struggling a bit.

So I'm happy to announce they had their first victory today, beating the Birkenhead Panthers by 3 runs. Both teams scored exactly 100 runs, but the Eagles lost 1 less wicket (7 vs 8) than Birkenhead. Since a team gets 3 runs for each wicket they take the final score was 124-121 to the Eagles. The fielding was also much improved.

Well done boys.

Timothy took 2 wickets (both bowled) and the other 6 wickets were all run-outs.
