As the numbers reveal, it wasn’t an easy Summer Term for the 2nd XI in terms of results - or the weather. Wickets were not forthcoming and in a season equally short of runs, the only real highlight was Henry C's 53* against Malvern in the opening game of the season. The team struggled to find a consistent line-up, but its backbone was a group of Upper Sixth stalwarts: Freddie B-B, Henry H, Max E-W and Captains Fraser J and Isaac S all gave much to the School’s cricket over their five years (despite the COVID hiatus). We hope that in the years to come they will occasionally dust off their gear and give cricket another go!
Thanks to Mr Vides for taking the 2nd XI: his positive approach and enthusiastic net bowling were always well received.

The team showed fantastic sportsmanship and class at all fixtures both home and away, and there was clear cricketing talent amongst the boys which led to many successes over the season. Some excellent shots were made and many a wicket taken. However, inevitably, as with any sporting season, there were occasions of defeat, which the boys took graciously and with great dignity.
The 3rd XI were a class act from the start to end and I am encouraged to see the high standards they have set for future teams to come.

An incredibly talented and hardworking group, the U15As possess a few cricketers with bright futures. The fact that Harry M, Gennaro R, Eamonn C, George P and Alfie K all represented the 1st XI before the season finished is a testament to this!
Centred around a strong top-order and spin attack, the U15s played some delightful cricket across the summer, culminating in an appearance at Regional Finals day. Sadly, the journey was to end in the Semi-Final, but that should not detract from many fine performances over the course of the season.
Two matches in particular stand out. The first was the home victory against Malvern which saw Alfie display nerves of steel at the death to defend our total, despite being hit for six off the penultimate ball of the innings. The second match of note would be the T20 demolition of Shrewsbury away. Restricting the hosts to 132, the top order made light work of the chase within 15 overs, George and Gennaro carrying their bats to accomplished 50s.

A winning season where the highlight was a 10-wicket win away at Shrewsbury, and good performances against Uppingham, Trent and Bromsgrove meant the season ended on a high. Sophia M and Harrison M formed a formidable partnership with the new ball, with runs coming from Bade A and Zak W.
