CRICKET: Charlie's knock is all in vain (From thisisoxfordshire)

7:02pm Friday 10th July 2009

Charlie Scott-Kerr top-scored with 49, but it was not enough as Oxfordshire Under 11s lost by eight wickets in Devon.

Inserted on a green and damp wicket, Oxon got off to a bad start and quickly found themselves 12-3.

Wickets continued to fall and at 53-5, Oxon were up against it.

But a 50-run stand between Scott-Kerr and Daniel Patey took the score to 103-6, and, with Patey finishing unbeaten on 22, Oxon closed on 133-9.

With the wicket drying, Devon made batting look easy as they reached the total in the 24th over.

Only Graham Beer and John Francis claimed wickets.

OXON Under 12s were given a batting lesson as they lost by 117 runs against Bucks at Stonesfield.

The visitors posted an impressive 233-5, with Lee Tyrell blasting 82 in 53 balls.

Oxon’s lack of confidence showed as they slumped to 25-7.

Louis Pennington and Callum Russell shared a 62-run partnership to get the score up past 100 before Oxon were bowled out for just 116.
