The first innings:
*Aztecs won the toss and decided to bat first
*Lost 12 wickets to some really fast bowling
*2 players were injured as a result of the fast bowling
*Never truly recovered from losing constant wickets throughout the innings, despite the efforts of our batsmen. Out bowled.

The second innings:
*Opposition batting was phenomenally superior with the team regularly hitting 4's and 6's
*Excellent bowling by Ayaan and Zeeruk to peg opening pair down.
*4 dropped catches
*Good fielding none the less with 2 run outs made as well.

A match to be forgotten about, but the point needs to be made that the Frenford were fielding 12 and 13yr olds. Whereas Aztecs has 10, 11 and 3 12 year olds in the team. Our team is young and unfortunately in this game it showed. Their boys were much taller and stronger. They bowled fast and 2 of our players were injured as a result. Batting wise they were too powerful and constantly ticked over 4's and 6's. We will put this match behind us and move onto the next one, where a better performance will prevail.
