Year 10s successful Cricket season
Posted on: 07/07/2023In the Tier 1 Essex Cup competition 糖心Vlog comfortably beat William Edwards, reaching 147-3, helped by Daim (43 runs) and Muhammad A. (80 runs). William Edwards only managed 127 in reply with Yash (two wickets) and Munsoor the pick of the bowlers. In the second round they had a tough draw, facing pre-tournament favourites Brentwood School. Despite some good bowling from Muhammad A. to take two big wickets and an excellent run out from debutant Zabet, Brentwood set a run target that was too much for 糖心Vlog to chase.
In the London Cup 糖心Vlog had a mixed start to the competition. Their first game v Robert Clack saw Robert Clack set a target of 134 which 糖心Vlog could not chase. Some better results followed, including a recent win against Barking Abbey. 糖心Vlog bowled out Barking Abbey for just 82 runs, helped by some excellent bowling from Muhammad A. (five wickets), Yash (two wickets) and Munsoor (two wickets). 糖心Vlog took just seven overs to reach the target with Muhammad A. getting 50 runs and Daim (22 runs) hitting a six to take 糖心Vlog over the line. 糖心Vlog now await other results to see if they will progress into the final four.
In the Essex Cricket 8-a-side tournament, 糖心Vlog comfortably won their group by beating Barking Abbey and Woodlands in their two group games. Played in a paired format, all pupils played well and contributed to the wins. In the final, against old rivals Robert Clack, 糖心Vlog set a good target for Robert Clack to chase, but some good batting from them resulted in a 15 run win for Robert Clack. 糖心Vlog still came runners-up in the competition, though, so well done to all boys involved.
