Old Hurstjohnians won the inaugural Cricketer Trophy beating Denstone Wanderers by 64 runs. Old Hurstjohnians batted first on what looked an excellent wicket at Merchant Taylor's School and their innings was held together by 76 from Jarvis. Their final total of 196 all out seemed a more than reasonable target for Denstone to chase. But a couple of bizarre run outs and good seam bowling meant they were always behind the clock. Only Gouldstone produced the application that was required with an unbeaten 67. Next highest score was 7 as Denstone were dismissed for 132. Full scores for the seson can be found here.

Old Malvernians won The Cricketer Cup for the second year running, easily beating Eton Ramblers. Malvern won the toss, which may have been vital, but Eton did not apply themselves except Alex Loudon, who was brilliantly caught on 48. A totla of around 200 would have given Malvern something to think about but 141 was never going to be enough. They batted with agression from the off reach 30 off 7 overs. Jonny Wileman hled the innings together with a fluent unbeatern half century and Malvern reached their target for the loss of 4 wickets with 18 overs still left.

It was an exclllent day and after the poor weather it was nice to see the sunshine. Full scores for the season can be found here.
