Match report *Northwood CC 5th XI vs Tring Park CC 4th XI - Match Report*
Venue: Tring Cricket Club (Grassy Pitch) | Conditions: Windy, Cloudy

*Match Summary*
Northwood CC's 5th XI displayed tremendous resilience despite fielding with just 10 players for most of the match, ultimately falling short by 29 runs against Tring Park CC's 4th XI. The contest highlighted both our fighting spirit and key areas needing improvement. After losing the toss and *being asked to field* , NCC produced a mixed performance - disciplined bowling efforts were undermined by costly fielding errors.

*First Innings (Tring Park CC 182/8 in 40 overs)*
The new-ball duo of *Hemant Kadam* (8-2-24-0) and *Jack Glanville* (5.3-0-18-0) set an *excellent tone* , restricting Tring to just *37 runs in the first 10* overs. Jack's economical spell was unfortunately cut short by an *ankle injury* in his sixth over. During the middle overs, *Praveen Naga* (8-1-30-2) claimed two crucial wickets with his deceptive wobble-seam deliveries. However, three dropped catches and numerous misfields gifted Tring Park approximately *30 extra runs.* Most costly was a *spilled chance off their opening batsman,* who converted his reprieve into a match-defining 54. Tring eventually *posted 182/8.*

*Second Innings (Northwood CC 153 all out in 37.3 overs)*
Our chase began promisingly with openers *Mike Kirman* (19) and *Dhaval Soni* (21) building a solid 60-run partnership, expertly negotiating the new ball. However, the middle order *collapsed dramatically* against Tring's quality *slow and loopy bowling* , sliding from 60/1 to 102/7. Two LBWs highlighted our batters' struggles against the variable bounce. *Mohit Motwani 's* heroic *57 (9 fours, 1 six)* provided late hope, but ultimately we were bowled out for 153.

Key Highlights
✅ *Bowling Discipline:* Hemant (3.0 RPO) and Praveen (2 wickets) maintained excellent control
✅ *Opening Stand:* 60-run partnership laid a strong foundation
✅ *Mohit's Grit:* Superb 57-run innings in challenging conditions
✅ *Team Spirit:* Jack fielded through injury; Rahul joined at short notice

Special Mentions
👏 *Jack Glanville:* Fielded 25 overs despite a sprained ankle
👏 *Rahul Shukla:* Rushed from Home to complete our XI
👏 *Opposition U15s/U17s:* Demonstrated outstanding athleticism

*Conclusion*
While the result was disappointing, this performance contained enough positive signs to suggest brighter days ahead if we can sharpen our all-round game. The fighting spirit shown with limited resources bodes well for the remainder of the season.
