Here it is the update of 3rd division.
Last Thursday we had Heywood Vs Mayfield in a deciding game of who will be 1st and 2nd!!
Heywood to bat first and some mega hits made to get things going. Superb triangle from Mayfield doing what they can to keep them at bay but Rhiannon bags herself 2 rounders and then Katie, Izzy, Kelly and Becky follow suit with 1 each!! Mayfield working hard out deep Shauna using her mega deep arm to get the ball back in to get a few out on 4th and stop some at 3rd. Charleigh with great bowling and Niamh and Jo on form as backstop and 1st base. Ali with an amazing catch as inner as well. A total of 6 rounders scored for Heywood and a great lead to start off an epic game. Mayfields turn to bring some heat at batting and Heywood to show off their fielding skills. Kat as bowler tonight doing an amazing job and Kelly and Karla at backstop and 1st base. Rhiannon using her deep arm along with Katie and Izzy. They are being put to work as lefties Jo and Charleigh swing left. Charleigh with a cracking hit right on the line gets a rounder to get the ball rolling for Mayfield and Shauna and Liv follow closely behind her. Kelly with some amazing catches as backstop and pick ups to get them out on 1. We get down to 2 batters left due to Heywood epic triangle and mega fielding then Ali bags herself a rounder but unfortunately gets an injury and needs to be subbed. And what a sub it was Eysha rocks up bats and scores a rounder then Heywood manage to get side out. Score 6-5 in first innings.
Second innings and batting Heywood are giving their all Georgia gets some great hits but again is caught out by Liv. Mayfield have tightened the fielding and some amazing triangle work again from Charleigh, Jo and Niamh. Katie steps up and manages to get a rounder before side out. Go on Heywood 7 and still anyone's game. Tensions are starting to build as it all comes down to this last field and bat. Karla not letting anyone escape running from 1st base to 3rd to stop rounders and making sure to keep Mayfield at bay!! Charleigh manages to bag a half rounder due to a misfielding situation only 2 rounders needed to get a win for Mayfield. Heywood bagging themselves some amazing catches Georgia on fire and Katie backing her up when she nearly missed one, truly beautiful to watch!! Katie from Mayfield bags a rounder and the field is tense. Heywood stepping up more on fielding and getting them all out at 1st and 3rd base. Down to two batters again. What felt like a lifetime and then super sub Eysha steps up and bags a rounder and that gives Mayfield the win!!
Honestly was a truly amazing game to watch and to see so many turn up and support both teams was incredible. A fantastic finale to 3rd division indeed both teams played superb and should be really proud of themselves. MVP in this game went to Karla whose fielding was top notch and her batting on form.
That's a wrap now and the end of the outdoor season ⚾ bring on the presentation on September where we can all celebrate together 🥳🎉
