Seniors and Sixth Form
Under 13a cricket v RGS
On a day where the weather was sent from heaven, the boys set off to Jesmond excited by the prospect of playing NSB’s first game of cricket this year.
RGS batted first and raced away to 42 from only five overs. That was until Ben C, in his first game of cricket for NSB, came on and took two wickets for only three runs! He dismissed both openers and from then on the boys made steady progress through their batting line-up to have RGS all out for 90 in only the 15th over. Oliver P took two wickets and Bruce D, George F, Adam H, Faraz I and Harveer M all took one wicket each. Keeping wicket, Hamzah A took three catches while Ben took two (one outstanding) catches, Ibrahim A one catch and Archie F effected a side on direct hit run-out.
Chasing their total, NSB made a great start thanks to Geroge F and Archie F (who both retired) and cruised past their score in the 16th over with the loss of only one wicket and a further four retired batsmen (Ben C, Adam H, Faraz I and Nicholas S ) to secure a very comprehensive nine wicket win.
