On Monday the 22nd of November Brookvale School cricket team played Newport at Griffith Park. When we  got there we had the toss and Newport won and decided to bowl. The opening batsmen were Chanon and myself. I was the first person to get out for 11  runs.  Then Adam was the next batsmen and he got out for 14 runs. Then Matthew was the next in and he scored 3 runs.

After that Chanon had to retire at 40 runs not out. Then Inoke and Robin came in and on the last ball of our innings Robin got run out. Our total team score was 4 out for 89 runs.

Then our team went out to field the first two bowlers were Matthew and Elliott. Matthews figures were 5/12 and Elliott's were 1/18. The next bowler to come on was Giau and his figures were 1/13. The next bowler was Chanon and he took 2/4. Then Myfawny and Anna came on and unfortunetly they got no wickets. Inoke was the next bowler to come on and he took the last wicket and we won by 6 wickets.
