19.07.10 North of England call up for McNichol
Further recognition for our juniors has come in the form of a call up to the North of England U15 representative team for James McNichol. James continues to impress all comers and his selection at this level is a major achievement. 'Chez' has a busy week ahead as he features in games in Burnley, Liverpool, Leeds and Cheshire in the next 5 days. Well done James!
19.07.10 Juniors in Representative action
A number of our juniors were in Rep matches on Sunday. Morley CC hosted the Heavy Woollen U15s and Jerome Austin and Chris Rodwell both featured in a comfortable victory against the Barnsley League. Batting first, HW made 199, before bowling Barnsley out for 108, for a 191 run victory.
Elsewhere, Leeds League taverners U13 team friendly against Nidderdale featured Ben Jenkinson and Roshan Patel. Nidderdale batted first and were bowled out for 155 (Jenkinson 6-1-17-1 and Patel 5-1-13-1). In reply Roshan Patel opened the batting and top scored with 29, Ben Jenkinson making a rapid 16. Leeds were all out for 122. Both boys retaining their place for the 3 Taverners matching coming up at the end of the month.
We also had Phoebe Austin playing her part again for the West Yorkshire girls team over in Silsden. Phoebe bowled excellently to end with figures of 1-4 from her 3 overs, her wicket being a county opener, clean bowled. She wasnt finished though and scored a direct hit run out, before taking a good catch in the deep.
A terrific achievement by all. Well done from everyone up at Morley CC.
12.07.10 Phoebe impresses for West Yorkshire ladies
Phoebe Austin did Morley proud last week when she was asked to represent W Yorks U15's (although still an U13) in the play off Final against a very strong side representing South Yorkshire.
Wests batted first and made a creditable 150-5 (Mirfields Emma Bolt scoring 54 NO). The South began their reply strongly, and after just 7 overs were 60-0 with 2 full County openers scoring freely. Phoebe then entered the attack and struck with her 4th ball, clean bowling the opener. In her next over, she clean bowled the Souths No3, who was also a full Yorkshire bat. She bowled a further 3 overs to complete a spell of 2-14 from 5 overs. She was then called on again with 2 overs to go required and just 14 required by Souths to win the game and the Championship. Phoebe bowled against the South's top scorer who was on 54 NO. The over went for only 6 runs and included a run out. This left The South to score 8 from the last over. This proved to be beyond them and The West won by 4 runs. Well done Phoebe for a match turning spell of bowling.
31.05.10 Another junior wins rep honours
Under 15 keeper Jamie Elliott was another of our juniors winning a representative call up this weekend, when he played for the Leeds League Taverners U14s. The Leeds League were defeated but Jamie emerged with a lot of credit and is looking forward to their next match in Newcastle in a few weeks time. Well done Jamie.
