Nottinghamshire U12 win again!
Wow what a close match it was on Saturday 26th January, when Nottinghamshire took on local rivals Derbyshire at Chilwell Olympia. Notts came out on top by 11 games to 9 to take our second win of the season.
To me, whilst the result may be important, the team spirt, enjoyment and desire to complete are showing through. The players are forming a strong group encouraging and helping each other to succeed. In games that we did not win, and they were very very close, our players took the loss well and moved on.
To demonstrate how close things were, eight matches went to three and of one of these even finished 17-15 – to Notts! There were some brilliant rallies bringing the parents alive, fabulous shots and all games were conducted with fairness.
The team who played in this match where Breanna, Emma, Livia and Martha; Anish, Dylan, Michael and Toby. Anish playing in his debut match for Nottinghamshire.
Thank you for parents who provided positive and encouraging feedback to all players.
This is the fourth match where the U12 Outlaws county team has had coaching support; this time Mick Newton was joined by James Latham. Thank you to both – as you could see the team appreciated your support.
Out next and final matches are against Yorkshire 1 & 2 on Sunday the 3rd Feb. This is an away match and we will have a long day – as we play one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I would like as many players as possible to be able to play in this game. Invitations to be sent out shortly.
Many thanks – what a great result
