District Reps

This seasons form of Tom Newell and Joe Nice has not been unoticed as they were both selected for the Under 13 Newark Representative side to face and all star Nottingham Rep XI, on Tuesday. Not bad for Under 12s!

Joe Nice and Tom Newell - their first steps to a successful future.

A 36 over match ensued at Bingham, with both boys doing themselves proud. The Nottinghamshire XI batted first on an unpredictable and uneven pitch and found themselves 100 all out in the 28th over.

An excellent run out from Newell the highlight of the innings, destroying the stumps from midwicket with a direct hit.

With 101 needed for victory Nice found himself in early at Number 3 and settled in comfortably with 13 before tea. Unaccustomed to this break Joe found himself bowled second ball after, but a good performance. Newell hit two excellent scoring shots before playing on from the spin of Plumtree's Carter, for 6 - but another good showing.

The Newark boys ripped up the form book with an excellent 2 wicket victory with 3 overs to spare, on all accounts batting and bowling with more application and patience.

An excellent debut saw both selected for Friday's match at Caythorpe. With Newell unavailable Isaac Brown gets his chance after another excellent season for Keyworth.

All smiles for the camera. You should hear them on match day. You open,. I don't want to. Well I don't. You open. I'm not opening. I did it last time. Leggy said I could go 3...

Congratulations boys. Very well deserved for your hard work and application
