Aston Rowant U15 Lose a Close Game To Ealing in Regional Round

04/07/2022

After winning last week's U15s finals day, Aston Rowant travelled to Ealing for the regional round of the national competition. Rowant restricted Ealing to 143/8 after Ealing had won the toss. Ollie Veal, Jacob Eaton, Charlie Basden and Arlo Hyman were the pick of the Rowant bowlers as we managed to somewhat stem the early tide of Ealing runs. Conor Rogan (41) and Ollie Veal (20) took up where they left off at the county finals and put on a 63 partnership for the first wicket. Jack Veal hit a brisk 16 but after he was unlucky to be given out lbw Rowant struggled to stay on the rate and finished at 120/5, 23 runs short. Disappointment at coming up short in a game the side might have won doesn’t take the gloss off a superb Summer for the U15s. Click here to view the scorecard
