Boys Asda Kwik Cricket Tournament 2012

On Wednesday 13th June the Asda Kwik Cricket Tournament for boys took place at Garons Park Cricket Bowl.

The day started at 12:30 when eighteen teams of boys ranging from year 5 to year 6, all battling for the Cricket Tournament title and a place in the Kwik Cricket County Final, which is to be held at Billericay Cricket Club on the 26th June.

This year we all felt that the as well as the girls the boys standard had once again increased from the previous year. The eighteen boys teams which took part were Sacred Heart RC, Bournemouth Park, Prince Avenue, Heycroft, Temple Sutton, Bournes Green A,B & C, Thorpe Greenways, Earls Hall, Alleyn Court, Blenheim, Darlinghurst, Leigh North Street, Milton Hall, Chalkwell Hall, Hamstel and Thorpe Hall.

The teams went through a round robin format were there were six groups each consisting of three teams. The top eight teams went through to the quarter finals and then winners from these matches played for 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th.

In sunshine the boys displayed some excellent cricket skills. Chalkwell Hall regained the title over Bournes Green and runners up from last year Blenheim finished third in the finals. Chalkwell and Bournes Green will represent Southend at the finals at the end of June. Both the SESSP & SWSSP wish you the best of luck and ask you to keep shining!
