All the Latest Rep Cricket Squad News
Both the U12 and the U14 Representative Cricket Teams have been busy in the early part of the season with prestigious friendlies being played against some of the country’s top public schools.
The season started with 2 games against Uppingham School at both U12 and U14 level. The U12s won their game comfortably with Mohsin Zamir (Frenford Clubs) taking 4 wickets for no runs off 2.4 overs as well as scoring 13 not out. The U14s were subjected to a somewhat sterner test against the Uppingham U14 A team, eventually drawing the game with Trashant Patel playing a careful of 23 not out to see EBGC through to the finish.
Next followed a game at Eton School for the U14s, playing against Uppingham U15 D team. Despite a good performance in the field from EBGC Eton ended up scoring a massive 223 from their 30 overs thanks to some big hitting from the Eton no. 6. In reply a magnificent innings of 91 from George Pritchard (Halstead Colts CC) proved to be not enough to reach the total and EBGC finished on 162-7 from 30 overs.
Both the U14s and U12s enjoyed victories over Kimbolton School. Mohsin Zamir (Frenford Clubs) and Connor Boreham (Orsett CC) were the star performers in an extremely close match for the U12s.

In the U14s a superb bowling spell of 5-6 off 3.2 overs by Max Bryant helped EBGC to dismiss Kimbolton U14A team for just 59. Jamal Ahmed (Frenford Clubs) then took the initiative with the bat helping to win the game by 8 wickets with his 36 not out.
