Vestli U13 A team comfortably won their first two games against Vestli U13 B and Nord. Nord boys are developing well and will be a strong side very soon.
Vestli U13 A lost a close game against City U13. Our Vice captain carried his bat with 38 in 27 balls with 3 boundaries and 2 sixes. One of the best U13 batting innings by a 9 year old. They put up a competitive total of 74. However city made those runs in the eighth over despite good balling relying on strong power hitting by their 13 year old captain.
Congratulations to both teams for an excellent U13 game with only 12 wide and no balls combined in both the innings.

  In the current scoring system of Norway cricket, Cricclubs , the oldest women series that is recorded is from 2016. From talking to players from that time, I learnt that girls have played cricket in Norway since 2013 and a national team was first established in 2014 however that time the international games for Norway did not have a T20I status. After 2016, the two out of the three teams from that time, Veitvet and Friends, discontinued. Falken girls stayed on, however had no opposition to play against in 2017 and 2018. Late in 2018, Vestli cricket club started with a women team who played a few friendlies against Falken girls in the winter. This is when I started playing cricket in Norway as a part of the emerging Vestli lady leopards. During that time, with the help of Coach Joshua Young, Gry tried to # restart the national women team and by then Norway has also received a T20I status. In the summer of 2019, a squad of 12 travelled to France with Josh and newly hired head coach

Season Summary for Vestli Cricket Club U13 Teams 2023

It was a rapid-fire but a fruitful season for the boys. Both our U13 teams have now played all their games barring one that is scheduled in August.  A team, led by Ismail Omar, played 9 games and won 7, lost 1 and got a walkover over Fossum. Haugerud U13, against whom we have lost three games in last three years proved to be our nemesis again. We lost the first game against them in the penultimate ball by 7 wickets. Haugerud's Husnain Masood had hit such huge sixes in that game that anyone's moral could have gone down. But a week later, the boys bounced back nicely. We made a plan to bowl slow yorker length balls to Masood and boys executed beautifully, getting him out in the second over. Following that the Haugerud team got all out giving us a modest total of 64 that the boys achieved in the 7th over without loosing any wickets.  The take away from this season would be the courage shown by Haider Ali and Pranaov Ranjith to open the bowling against Haugerud despite knowing how
