On Wednesday 11th June, St Michael's Colts A cricket team took part in the Tonbridge Tournament consisting of 24 teams from around the South of England.
In the previous year St Michael's had won the Plate and were now looking to add the Cup to our trophy cabinet. Playing Hazelwood in the first game, we batted excellently scoring 88 off of our 5 overs including 69* from Adam J (this included 50 off just 19 balls). The game started perfectly with Abigail T taking two wickets with the first two balls, leaving us in a very strong position. St Michael's ended up winning by 52 runs.
The following two matches against St Ronan's and Lancing College were equally well played by the team, winning both. Special mention to Hugo M who took a hat trick against Lancing to seal the victory. This meant that we currently topped the group but were joint on points with Yardley Court who were also unbeaten to this stage, and just so happened to be our last game. In what became a Final, St Michael's batted first and posted an impressive 66 from 5 overs. Yardley kept with the run rate until a very good penultimate over from Rayaan G meant they needed 16 off the last over. Hugo M held his nerve and St Michael's walked away winning by 3 runs, winning the Tournament!
Well done to all members of the team, it was a fantastic day and each and everyone of the team contributed massively to their success.
