There were also wins for the U15Bs with Leo Hales taking four wickets and the U14As for whom Luka Woods (Fa) took five wickets.
The U14B team’s victory means they have gone the whole season winning every one of their 10 matches, and most of them very comfortably, which is a remarkable achievement, so well done to the boys and to coaches Mr Wallace and Mr Conway.
The junior sides struggled against Reigate Grammar but John Warfield (GH) with four wickets and Nicholas Cavaliere (Wa) stood out in these games.
The sports star of the week is Middle Fourth Will Hewett (H). He scored an unbeaten half-century on Monday for the U14Bs against Dunottar to help the team to victory. He then followed that on Saturday with an unbeaten 121 against Reigate, to finish the week with 178 runs without being dismissed.
