The Under 15 team has progressed comfortably through to the county cup final after defeating The King Edward VI School by six wickets. NSB dismissed KEVI for only 34 runs. Tom F took 3 for 16, Lucas H 2 for 3, Harvey M 2 for 5, Matthew O 2 for 7 with Patrick C taking a stunning slip catch. Diving full length to his right, he took a one handed catch off Malton’s bowling which would not have looked out of place in an Ashes highlights video.
The run chase was not without its hiccups but thankfully, Matthew (12 not out) held the short run chase together along with Lucas (12) to secure a six wicket win.
NSB play Queen Elizabeth High School, Hexham at 1.15pm next Tuesday 28th June at Alnwick Cricket Club in the final.
