Ellingham U13s were not only crowned as 2016 Dorset Champions on 7 July for the first time in the ECB u13s National Club Competition, but have now progressed to the regional semi finals.
They had already beaten hot favourites, Parley Cricket Club in a tense 5-run victory, to go on to represent the county in the regional stage of the tournament, but as the next fixture didn’t take place because their opponents were unable to field a team on 17 July, Ellingham are through to the first semi final. They will play Taunton on 3 August. The 20/20 match will take place at 10.30am at South Wilts Cricket Club.
After the team became Dorset Champions, Ellingham manager and Youth Co-ordinator, Paul Spicer said, “The boys showed a fantastic team work ethic and their success was due to their energy in the field. This was a team not expected to win and their support of each other made all the difference, alongside a good bowling attack and an impressive batting performance. This is an achievement they can be proud of for many years to come.”
