The 15th edition of the UK’s
largest indoor primary school cricket competition, the William Greaves Trophy,
came to a thrilling end yesterday as Latchmere Primary stormed to victory at
the Home of Cricket, Lord’s. 

Having
lost the toss and been put into bat by fellow first time finalists, Rokesly
Primary (Haringey), Latchmere got off to a steady start, despite losing an
early wicket (Amber, run out for 6), with Ethan retiring on 15 and leading the
team to a competitive total that left Rokesly needing 70 to win.

While
a very getable score, a brilliant all round bowling performance from Latchmere
made run scoring very difficult for the Rokesly batters and in the end it
proved too much as the team from the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames
claimed their first ever William Greaves Trophy title.

Congratulations
Latchmere and thank you to all the schools who took part this year!
