In the girls competition Oakley C E Junior School are champions!
In the year 6 mixed final the winners are Bispham Drive school!
A huge congratulations to both!
Full reports and photos will follow shortly of both days!

St Christopher's girls team in the final today!
By The Asda Kwik Cricket team
Well done and good luck to St Christophers girls today who have
claimed the Liverpool Asda title for 3 successive years since it
first began, qualifying for the Lancashire County Finals back in
2008. Last year they lost in the regional semi final but have now
claimed the North West title at the 3rd attempt!
Hope it all goes well today and you have fun!
Blackpool CofE Primary Road to the Final!!
By The Asda Kwik Cricket team
Blackpool C of E have done fantastically well to get to the
National Final. Let's meet the team!!!
Pat Hicks - Top all-rounder, straight with both bat and bowl. A
real athlete, Take two to him in the field at your peril!
Will Christophers (C) - The man! Just never out of the game, fast
in all that he does. The talisman.
Ben Tampkins - Solid in all that he does, gives nothing away
cheaply. If you hear a ticking sound thats him thinking. Stato to
his mates!
Harry Senior - Never stops! bowling, running, batting, catching,
fielding, talking definitely powered by duracell!
Ashley Causey - A raw talent, good bounce when he bowls and a
hard hitter when he bats. Improving every game.
Ollie Clifford-Bourne - A man in a boys body, hits hard with the
bat. Took 13 catches in one tournament at wicketkeeper and bowls
left arm.
Chris Yabsley - Every team needs a mystery bowler and here he is.
Proper batsman as well.
Henry Thomas - Bousterous bowler with bounce a go-go, likes to
score runs in different areas as a batsman.
The Blackpool team has just got better and better as the
tournament has progressed culminating in winning their last match
against the Wiltshire team Harnham by 70 runs!
Other notable matches en-route, were matches against their local
rivals and club team mates Bovey Tracey, where Blackpool won by
just 10 runs. Also, on that day at the Devon Finals, Hyde Park
started the final over needing just 2 runs to knock Blackpool out
in the final. However, the Blackpool fielders and a blitz from
their Captain Will Christophers resulted in Hyde Park losing by
13 runs.
Comfortable wins against all but fellow Westcountry qualifiers
ensured safe passage to Derby. The match against St Micheal's
from Dorset was top class entertain in a low scoring match
chasing only 225 to win it was left to Tampkins and Christophers
to score 13 off the last 12 balls against the best bowlers to
win. They safely achieved this off 10 balls and safely navigated
the last two balls to beat St Micheal's on the day.
Blackpool have enjoyed their cricket and are looking forward to
their big day in Derby.

Wollescote Primary School - their road to the Final!
By The Asda Kwik Cricket teamThe team consists of: Ovais Qamar, Andrew Cartwright, Awais Nusrat, Shoaib Iqbal, Taimur Mahmood, Mustafa Ali, Mohammed Husnain, Mateen Ali, Husnain Mohammed and Omar Mahmood.
The highlight of their tournament has to be when Wollescote had scored 212 in the Regionals and their opposition needed to score only 5 runs from the last 2 overs to win! However, the team then successfully took 6 wickets in 7 balls to win the match by 17 runs. What a performance!
One time, their coach, Tim, managed to break a chair and fall on the ground in the process of trying to catch a ball that had gone for 6! Luckily he caught the ball, obviously to show his team that they have a quality coach on board!
Well done so far Wollescote - and relish the big moment to come!
Bunbury Aldersey School Player Profiles!
By The Asda Kwik Cricket teamHere are some notes about each player and their contribution to the team:
- James Burnett (c)
Bunbury are no doubt led by a lover of the game. James leads from the front and he plays cricket whenever he possibly can. He is an asset to the team and always delivers at those crucial moments.
- Sam Roberts
Sam is one of the tallest in the team at 5' foot. He is formidable at the crease, commonly hitting numerous sixes in an over!
- Joe Walker
Joe's bowling performances this season have proved invaluable. He is also known for his near to impossible diving catches which have turned many a game around!
- Maxwell Pridmore
Maxwell is an all rounder and generally loves the game. He is going for his Gold award this summer, and always raises the team's spirits.
- Dan Smith
Dan will always be remembered for keeping cool and making that crucial single in one of the group matches to carry the team through to the next round. He is also a very decent fielder!
-Ben Steward
Ben seems to have just got better and better throughout the tournament! His bowling is devastating to the opposition and he isn't shy about hitting the ball about the ground either!
-George Dixon
Whether its bat or ball, George is someone who the team can greatly rely on. He will fight to the very end, and is going for his Gold award this summer.
-Lewis Neal
Sport is Lewis' life! He loves every moment of it and has always made an excellent performance when it counts. He is very athletic on the pitch, and definitely the nosiest of all the boys!
-Gus Warr
Rugby and football may seem like the only two sports Gus can play. But wait! He can play cricket too! Gus has made a significant contribution to the team, noticably his 3 wickets in an over!
Bunbury's players all seem as if they will carry on playing cricket for years to come. Their passion for the sport has definitely been a factor in getting so far.
Good luck in the Asda Kwik Cricket Finals boys!!!
