Derbyshire Year 6 Mixed Final took place at the Derby County Ground on Friday, venue for this year's National Final, and was witness to a thrilling finale to the county tournament.   Simmondley (Glossop) beat Old Hall (Chesterfield) in  a tie.  Both scored 249 but Simmondley lost less wickets!  What a game!

For the Dorset Year 6 mixed Final also on Friday we have a full match report:

The Districts sent 2 representatives each to the county final at Bryanston School. They had won and come second in their local District festivals.
The morning competition had 3 leagues of 4, producing some very exciting games eg Christchurch beat St Michael’s Primary by just 1 run. One of the groups had a 3 way tie for 2nd place which had to be decided on total run count – Epiphany Primary edged through by just 1 run from Sandford Middle after 3 matches played.
After tee shirts were presented by the ASDA representatives and a big thank you was made by DSCA Chairman and organiser, to ASDA at the lunch break, the sides winning their group played each other and so on down the line (2nds, 3rds and 4ths). This ended up with places from 1 to 12 and again produced some exhilarating cricket and a huge amount of excitement in the sun.
Recently retired Chairman of Dorset Cricket Board, Clive Moore, presented the silver medals to St Aldhelm’s Primary (Poole) and gold medals and trophy to St Michael’s Middle School from Colehill (East).
He also thanked me effusively – but that is not in the report.
Photos sent are of a bit of action, Tammy and Dennis form ASDA, post presentation of tee shirts, St Aldhelm’s batting v St Michael’s and the winning team (on the steps) and runners up.
