U15 XI
The U15 cricket side had a mixed season; we played seven games in total won five and lost only two. We lost to Loughbourgh and Shrewsbury school, which regrettably was in the second round of the Lord Taverner’s cup.
There were many successful innings throughout the season, the highest score achieved by Matt Lee, against K.E.S Aston, closely followed by Edward Sykes in the same game. Ed Sykes has done very well this season making his debut for the first team. Tom McNeillie had a successful season as captain and also with the bat with a highest score of 70 not out against R.G.S Worcester. Other notable performances with the bat came from Olly Beech and Haaris Akhtar. James Lankester has made tremendous improvement since the end of last season, playing anchorman in most innings and also making handy contributions with the ball.
Our bowling has generally been excellent this season with the bowlers consistently taking many wickets. Matt Lee, Haaris Akhtar, Leigh Mason and James Lankester formed the main nucleus of the bowling attack with Robert Gooden, Asad Rahman and Thomas Hughes all making their contributions. The B team this season played two games winning one and losing one. Notable performances came from Ben Wisemen who scored a fifty against Kings Worcester. Many thanks to our coaches, Mr Hart and Mr Reddington, who have helped us tremendously over the year.
