Nottinghamshire Youth Cricket Under 11 Manager: Paul Bramley Played 12 won 6 was a very satisfying end of season result. There were two stand out batsmen during the season Freddie McCann and Fateh Singh who scored over 230 runs each during the season Fateh Singh scoring two fifties with a highest score of 75 not out against Staffordshire. Batting was not a reliable area overall, shortcomings being in rotation of strike thereby maintaining run-rate and building scores. Zain Ali, Fateh Singh and Qundeel Haider all took over 10 wickets Bowling strength kept totals low leaving reachable batting targets or in defending our own. Nevertheless, excellent individual performances were achieved by Fateh Singh (also highest wicket taker). The Players Player was Freddie McCann for consistency and support behind the stumps. At Stow 28th May, Norfolk 158-4 (40 overs) (B Wilcox 49*) Beat Nottinghamshire 92-8 (40 overs) At Calverton CC 7th June, Nottinghamshire 164-4 (40 overs) (F Singh 48) Beat Lincolnshire 124 -10 (32.5 overs) (T Lumb 3-8) At Audley CC 21st June, Nottinghamshire 138-5 (40 overs) (F Singh 75) Beat Staffordshire 127 all out (38.5 overs) (Qundeel Haider 3-14) At Collingham 28th June, Yorkshire 161-5 (40 overs) Beat Nottinghamshire 40 (23.4 overs) all out At Ransom and Marles CC 5th July Northamptonshire 94-9 (40 overs) Lost to Nottinghamshire 95-4 (27.3 overs) (F Singh 58*) At Shipley Hall CC, 8th July Nottinghamshire 140-2 (35 overs) (F McCann 67) Beat Derbyshire 129-7 (35 overs) At Hanley Castle &Upton CC, 12th July Nottinghamshire 97 (40 overs) all out Lost to Worcestershire 100-3 (34.4 overs) Under 12 Manager: Andrew Claye The Under 12's had a very consistent season with some outstanding performances. The season opened with a win at the beautiful Woodhall Spa CC vs. Lincolnshire. One of the outstanding performances of the season came in the next winning game at Attenborough vs. Derbyshire. Raheem Ahmed scored 104, the best individual batting performance of the year. The tightest win of the season was away vs. Cheshire at Bunbury, where we scraped home by 5 runs. We lost the next game against a very strong Lancashire team who comfortably knocked off a low batting total. The team batted better, but still lost against another traditionally strong county, Warwickshire, on a red hot June day at Kinoulton CC. The game against Leicestershire saw the team bounce back with a very strong win. A trip to Halesowen to play Worcestershire ended in a win. We compiled 144 and bowled them out comfortably for 96. We learned a valuable lesson at Collingham against Norfolk where we failed to bat the overs. They scraped a win with one over to spare. We scored 162 against Staffordshire. Sam Kaye picked up their first 5 wickets for 17 runs, limiting them to 102 all out. A tough fixture against Yorkshire at Goosedale started well with Nottinghamshire bowling them out for 131. However, at 34 for 1 at 12 overs the match was happily abandoned by Yorkshire B's due to rain. The first game at LSC Festival at Oundle playing London Schools saw Rehan Ahmed top score with 90, and then he bowled 5 for 21 with a fantastic match winning catch by Ewan Laughton. We beat Bedfordshire and Leicestershire to reach the final against Yorkshire A's. Notts scored 135 with Rehan Ahmed top scoring again with 58. An outstanding fielding display bowled Yorkshire out for 63. Rehan Ahmed was voted the player of the tournament, and Jonny Lawrence won the bowling award. Winning the LSC Festival at Oundle was a fantastic conclusion to a great season. The highest run scorers for the season were Rehan Ahmed with 423, Will Duncan (Captain) with 304 and Raheem Ahmed with 279.

This was the first time a Nottinghamshire side had made it to the final of this competition which was held at Woodhouse Grange in late August; unfortunately, Yorkshire proved just too strong on the day. The side were involved in some very close games and perhaps some of the more memorable were; the one run win against Cheshire achieved with a run out off the penultimate ball following a direct hit by Captain Will Bircumshaw. The victory over Staffordshire saw Notts defending a meagre 115 and when Staffs were 95-5 things looked a little bleak; however, a spell of 6 for 9 from Luke Grantham Woodhouse saw Notts win by 11 runs. The season saw some fine individual performances, leading the batting was opener Ben Lumb with an aggregate of 450 runs, which included five fifties and a top score of 93. Opening bowler Ishraj Jandu was leading wicket taker taking 24 wickets at an average of 12.9, with his best performance of 5-19 coming in the abandoned game against Middlesex.

The team should great fight and spirit through the year including recovering from 10 for 4 versus Durham to post 224 to win the game. The three main batsmen scoring over 250 runs were Louis Bhabra, Hassan Chaudry and Daniel Blatherwick. The bowling dominated by four seam bowlers Adam Majid, Daniel Blatherwick, Louis Bhabra and Josh Porter, whose 5/31 versus Yorkshire won the game, this was greatly supported by the economical spin of Thomas Batterham.
