In a recent match against Wheathampstead, Mattie Wollaston opened the bowling for our U11 A team and proceeded to take 5 wickets with the first 5 balls of the innings. That's right, a 5-fer in less than 1 over!

This amazing performance well and truly put our boys in the driving seat and Wheato were skittled for 28 inside 8 overs.

Huge congratulations to Mattie, a photo of whom is attached (courtesy of his dad) which raises three questions in my mind:

Is Mattie available to give me a bowling masterclass?

Where can I get hold of Mattie's super looking practice set-up in his garden?

Is there still hope for me? (Don't answer that one!)
