 T20 vs Petworth Park CC, Twenty20 1st XI

Eastergate came up just short in a spirited run chase against a strong opposition side, falling to a narrow defeat in a high-scoring match.

After winning the toss and electing to field, Eastergate were immediately put under pressure by some explosive batting. Paddy Cowell led the charge with a blistering 96 off just 45 balls, including 9 sixes and 7 fours, striking at an astonishing 213.33. Tom Creed added more firepower with a rapid 51 off 28 balls. Despite valiant efforts from the bowlers, including Fergus Geraets (2 wickets) and Harry Comins (2 wickets), the opposition posted a daunting total.

In reply, Eastergate started shakily, losing early wickets including Rob Comins for a duck and Adam Foster for 2. However, the innings was steadied by the Geraets brothers—Fergus (46 off 34) and Elijah (44 off 36)—who put together a crucial partnership that kept hopes alive.

Unfortunately, regular wickets fell, and Eastergate couldn’t maintain the momentum required to chase down the total. Kirah Ambroziak gave a spirited all-round performance, picking up two wickets and contributing with the bat and in the field.

Top Batting Performances:

• Fergus Geraets: 46 (34)

• Elijah Geraets: 44 (36)

Despite the loss, there were positives to take away: promising batting form from the Geraets brothers, strong performances from young bowlers, and improved fielding intensity. Eastergate will look to bounce back stronger in their next game.
