The junior teams have reached the half way mark of their respective competitions and now have a week off during the half term break.
The Under 11s are first in the League by 8 points ahead of Ealing and still in the Cup. Great performances so far this year form Henry Turner, Sam Francombe, Luke Shenley and Tayyab Mailk.
Read MoreActon played their second u/11s game of the season against Ealing on Tuesday evening at home. It was a great win for the team, with Acton batting first and scored 152-3 from their 20 overs. In the face of some excellent bowling Ealing managed to score just 71 all out, having been 26 for 8 at one stage.
Acton will be looking to go one better than the three league wins last Saturday this coming weekend. In addition, the 1st XI host Uxbridge C.C in the Middlesex Cup on Sunday and we have enough availabilities for a Sunday 2nd XI (for which we are still looking for an opposition).
The under 10s hosted Chiswick for the first game of the season following rain the previous week. Captain Toby lost the toss and the Mini Acorns went out to bat on a lovely day and good batting pitch. Frankie and Gilly opened the batting against the best of the Chiswick bowling and batted sensibly, only losing one wicket between them and seeing off the new ball for the next pairs. Toby played a supporting role to Oscar P in the next pair, rotating the strike allowing Oscar to hit boundaries and accelerate the score past 240. Lewi and Oscar S came in and despite both losing their wickets early, then grew in confidence and batted very sensibly. After taking off -5 runs for each of the wickets lost, Chiswick would require 247 to win.
This week we have a match report from the U11's visit to South Hampstead from our very own U11 Jasper "I love playing for Acton" Pryce Jones. Excellent stuff Jasper, and hopefully we'll have a few more young contributors during the season!
