Cricket: Boys-U11A IAPS Regional Tournament

With five schools competing on the regional tournament, there was plenty to play for as the games got underway at 9.30am on some pristine wickets. The standard of cricket throughout the day was outstanding, with runs galore and some brilliant bowling and fielding performances in all of the matches. As the tournament progressed, every run and wicket counted, with very little to separate the sides the league table. King’s Hall managed to win overall, but with a three way tie for second place, it eventually came down to wickets conceded and Hazelgrove took second place.
