The Falkland Islands Cricket Team played two 20/20 games yesterday. The first game was again the Belize U19 National Squad. The Falklands batted first and managed to score 52 runs off 19.3 overs. David Hewitt top scored with the bat managing to score 29.
The Belize U19 squad scored 54 after 10 overs having lost 3 wickets.
For Belize Herbert Banner top scored with 33 and that was after taking a nasty blow to the jaw from a ball that popped up from David's bowling.
Herbert also took 3 wickets for 12 runs
We awarded Herbert man of the match
In the second game we played the Belize Senior National Squad. Again The Falklands batted first and scored 62 for the loss of eight wickets from their twenty overs. Toby Poole and Jamie Punter top scored with 11 runs. David Pickup got 10. Toby was inspirational (Yes I know!). He came into bat with seven balls to go and scored two fours. A real morale boosting innings.
Andy took two wickets for 23 runs
For the Belize National squad Kenroy Roca top scored with 26 and Warren Anthony took 3 wickets for 12 runs.
The Belize National squad surpassed teh Falkland Islands total in the nineth over.
The Falklands awarded Kenroy the man of the match award.
David Hewitt was awarded the man of the day award from all his team mates. Very thoroughly deserved for his innings in the first match and teh three wickets he took overall.
Overall teh day was a great success. The local school children came to watch us play and there was quite a crowd. James Bates and Ian Betts were playing cricket with a group of the school children.
More to follow :-)
