We are National Champions!
The First XI finished an unforgettable season by beating Shrewsbury School in the National Schools U18 T20 Cup at the iconic Wormsley Cricket Ground.
Having won the toss and electing to bat, Shrewsbury School were bowled out for 117 in 19.5 overs, thanks to a disciplined and determined King’s bowling performance. We then chased down the target with confidence, reaching 119 for 6 in just 16.3 overs to seal a memorable four-wicket victory and write their names into the school’s sporting history.
This is a fantastic achievement and we are so proud of the hard work, determination and commitment shown by our First XI team.
You may recognise some familiar faces alongside our pupils - our fantastic cricket coaches Phil Lewis, Rob Woodman and Keith Parsons!
