Sandown Academy Clinch Both Indoor Titles
|
Sandown Bay Academy won both the U12 and U13 Boys trophies at the Isle of Wight Schools Indoor Cricket Finals at Cowes EC. In both finals Sandown beat Christ the King College but the U12 Final was a very close affair going down to the last ball of the 12 over-a-side game.
Christ the King’s U12s set a total of 105-4, Louis Malkin compiling an assured 34no, though a large number of wides from Sandown’s bowlers inflated the total. Christ the King’s bowlers were equally generous and this allowed...

Ventnor Defeat The Holders
|
Ventnor's U12 stopped Ryde Cavaliers making it a league and cup double for the second year by defeating them in the cup final last Friday at Rew Valley Sports Centre.
Ventnor had to overcome Ryde in their semi-final first, which did not look like happening as Ryde took early wickets and kept the score down to 55 with only 4 over left. But Ben Attrill 49 not out rescued Ventnor innings and saw them finish on 109.
Ryde were given a solid platform to begin with as Louie Wrenn reached 25 ...

Two In a Row
|
Ryde Cavaliers U12s retained their indoor league title by defeating Ventnor in a league shot out in the final round of fixtures. Both teams went into the game undefeated, so it came down to a winner takes all.
Ventnor batted first and set a good total of 137 from their 12 overs (Dan Cox, 30no & Ben Attrill 27no)
Ryde Cavs reply started slowly but built momentum with some help of some indifferent bowling and an excellent knock by Flynn Powell (28no).
