Sadly our Juniors had their summer camp washed out again during the week. Although the juniors (and coaches) did get some colouring in done instead!
Friday night saw the Ladies play their final league fixture of the seson - Castle Eden Away. The hosts made 170 for 1, whilst the Ladies battled hard making 91 for 2. Daisy Wake making 31 and Becky Turner 15.
On Saturday the 1st team travelled to Wearmouth & YAV CC. In a third versus second fixture. Batting first Rainton made 152 for 7, Gavin Snowball 4, Ben Sims 15, Alan Maskell 1, Jamie Parkinson 60, Lee Henderson 6, Conor Henderson 20, Luke Richardson 34, Scott Taylor 3 not out, Ben Foster 2 not out. In reply the hosts were bowled out for 109. Ben Foster took 0 for 14, Scott Taylor 1 for 32, Derrick Steinberg 1 for 15, Laura Trotter 4 for 22 and Gavin Snowball 3 for 23. Meaning we climbed above our hosts by 1 point!
Also on Saturday the second team were due to host Dawdon, however the game was abandoned by the Umpire without a ball being bowled due to the waterlogged outfield.
On Sunday our ladies welcoming Castle Eden, Greenside & Beamish for our first Softball Tournament. Whilst Castke Eden finished the day as tournament champions, our Ladies did us proud winning the third place play off!
Our results were:
Ercc 77 Greenside A 50
Castle Eden 91 ERCC 80
ERCC 85 Greenside B 38
The day saw one of players leave the field injured with a broken arm, so Rainton Rocket Junior Ellie May Warren steeped, becoming the first rainton junior to represent one of our senior sides!
