Talented Cricketers Secure Victories Against KES

King’s talented cricketers had their annual block with King Edwards Birmingham over the weekend, which saw 11 boys teams in action.

KES are always a very strong opponent, and this early season block provided the boys with an excellent test and a platform to move forward from.

The 1^st XI continued their strong start to the season winning by 69 runs thanks to a Century from Will T and a magnificent 5-17 from Ben E, who took his first ever 5 wicket haul.

Elsewhere, there was another good win for the 2^nd XI as Joe T narrowly missed out on a maiden century, scoring an agonizing 99 and Arthur M scored 62 not out.

The U12A also showed what a talented age group they are, as they also secured a fine victory. Harry H was in form with the bat scoring 56* and his first half-century for King’s. The U15A and U13A & B also had very close games but were just on the wrong side of the result.

This week sees 13 boys and girls teams in action against Monmouth Schools. The boys 1^st XI game will be live streamed at 11am and the link will be posted on our King’s Sport Instagram page.
