Congratulations to Mr Chambers’ Year 7 Cricket team who have just become the Champions of Cheshire.
The boys won the Cheshire Cup Final on Saturday 4th of July at Kings School, Macclesfield. The team have not lost a game this season and have worked incredibly hard in the earlier stages of the competition to get to the final.
Kings won the toss and opted to put Sandbach into bat, Sandbach scored a competitive 103-1 against a good King’s bowling attack. Carrick Byrne(42 not out) and captain Jack Arton (40 not out) batted with great maturity and skill after receiving the coveted Sandbach school cricket “Red Caps” given to the boys for scoring 50s earlier in the season.
In reply, King’s Macc struggled against a well-disciplined bowling attack complemented with some outstanding fielding. They posted a score of 85 for 9 wickets in their 20 overs. Dan Goodier was the man of the match, bowling four overs for 9 runs and taking 4 wickets. He was well supported in the bowling attack by Ross Killey, Jack Arton, Ryan Cheetham and Alex Withenshaw.
This trophy was fully deserved; credit goes to those players who missed out on the opportunity to play in the final, their persistent, hard-working efforts at training contributed significantly to the positive outcome to the team that played on Saturday.
Well done boys!!
