Six-a-side glory for Fylingdales juniors
SEVEN junior members of Fylingdales Cricket Club travelled to Cloughton to compete in an invitation six-a-side event organised by the local cricket club.
Eight teams took part playing in leagues of four.
Fylingdales' first match was against Pickering A, with Fylingdales winning by 66 runs to 51.
Their next opponents were Wykeham who were beaten 53 to 41. Cloughton B were their last opponents, Fylingdales winning 67 to 64.
In their semi-final, Fylingdales had a close match with Cloughton A who were restricted to just 38 runs.
Both Fylingdales openers were dismissed in the third of five overs leading to a tense finish.
To qualify for the final, Fylingdales were left needing a boundary from the last ball and this was provided by Dan Hogarth. In the final itself, Pickering B were the opponents.
Fylingdales batted first and scored 82 from their five overs, with Theo Clarke top scoring with 36.
Pickering did their best to make a match of it but ended up on 64 meaning Fylingdales were crowned champions.
Captain Robbie Hurworth was also the top scorer at the event with 40 runs in the match against Wykeham, which gained him an individual trophy to go with the cup.
The squad was: Robbie Hurworth, Chris Hurworth, Theo Clarke, Sam Fussey, Dan Hogarth,Tom Shrimpton and Harry Purves, all of whom deservedly received medals for their fantastic team work.
