Very few results this week, of course, as term ended 10 days ago for almost all boarding schools. I had thought there would be festivals to report on, but I suspect they fell victim to the weather.
One that did not was the T20 festival at Bablake. Five teams took part on 5th and 6th July. The hosts were joined by Coventry neighbours King Henry VIII School as well as Queen Mary’s Grammar School Walsall, King Edward’s Stratford and John Hampden Grammar School (High Wycombe). Play started on time on the first day thanks to the heroic efforts of the groundstaff. Bablake defeated the holders John Hampden by 23 runs in the first game, thanks to an excellent 50 from Tom Mouseley. At the end of the first day, Bablake were involved in an even closer contest as they defeated King Edward’s Stratford by three runs.
At the end of the round robin stage, Bablake, King Edward’s Stratford and Queen Mary’s Grammar School were tied on six points with similar run rates. King Edward’s Stratford and Queen Mary’s Grammar School were fractionally better in terms of their net run rate, with the former winning the trophy after posting an imposing 148/1 in a rain reduced final. George Hendy scored 112 of these runs, part of his aggregate tournament run tally of 257 runs from five innings.
