Cricketer Cup victory for OM side Congratulations to Will Gifford and his OM team for their victory over the Eton Ramblers by six wickets at Shenley Cricket Club in the final of the Cricketer Cup this season. A consistently good side, they have taken the title four times in the last six years. This year’s final was a real team effort with some fantastic catching which reduced Eton to 141 in 50
overs. Malvern lost only four wickets in reaching their target with good contributions from Odge Davey, Jon Wileman, Mark Hardinges and Will Gifford. Mark Hardinges, Master i/c Cricket

The Lord’s Taverners Trophy Malvern cricket won its second piece of silverware this season when the youngsters won the first round of The Lord’s Taverners Trophy. Malvern U15s beat Prince Henry’s in the Regional final of the Lord Taverner’s competition and now progress to the National competition next summer. In the final at the Nomads ground, Malvern won the toss and decided to bowl. Liam Smith and Freddie Wynn bowled tightly to prevent the batting
side from scoring, but it was Zen Malik who did the damage taking 3 for 26 with a fantastic display of leg spin bowling. Malvern restricted Prince Henry’s to 104 and then Liam Smith smashed 65 not out to assist the Malvern side to victory. Mark Hardinges, Master i/c Cricket
