National Success For St Cross Girls And Boys

An outstanding display from Lucia Kendall (87 not out) helped St Cross to a 50 run win against a Spencer side containing 5 Surrey county players.

Kendall ended the Lady Taverners Under 13 T20 as leading run scorer (290), closely followed by captain Finty Trussler (218).

After a 26 run semi-final win over J & G Meakin CC, 167 was always going to be a winning score for the Winchester club, who won through 5 rounds to reach the finals at Denby Cricket Club (Derbyshire).

Barnt Green romped to a 107 run win in the national final, but the runners-up spot represented a great achievement for a young St Cross Under 15 squad.

The Worcestershire outfit racked up 219 for 2 with only Zac Organ (2 for 43) enjoying any success, while Harry Trussler (37) and Ned Andreae (22) top scored in reply.

The Winchester based side had posted 121 for 5 in the semi-final thanks to Freddie Hazlitt's 34 and Organ (24*), but Esher looked to be cruising at 96 for 3 with 6 overs left. 

But Alex Ingram (3 for 21) made things interesting, and the last 3 wickets fell to run outs resulting in an improbable 2 run win.

England Cricket whiteball captain Eoin Morgan presented the medals at Rugby School, adding to the club's Winchester Warriors League, Millard Cup and Justice Cup triumphs.
