Repton School Take Twenty20 Cricket Crown
A magnificent cricket season for Repton School has come to a fitting end with victory in the National Independent Schools Twenty/20 cricket championship yesterday (Sunday, June 29). Repton carried off the title thanks to their victory over the holders, Dulwich College, at J.P. Getty’s Wormsley ground in Buckinghamshire. After winning their group Repton had beaten Rugby, Shrewsbury and King’s College, Taunton to reach the big day, producing some brilliant cricket along the way.
Dulwich won the toss and chose to field. There was an early setback when Hamza Siddique, whose runs had been a major part in Repton’s progress to the final, was bowled in the first over by the pacy Betts. Captain Tom Poynton and the hard-hitting Charles Sindrey took the score to 80 after 10 overs without further loss. The introduction of medium pacer, Paton, changed the game significantly and Repton plunged to 94-5 after 14 overs. Some tremendous hitting by Richard Lawrence (33* off 19 balls) and Tom Cosford then saw the score to an eventual 143-8 as the innings closed. Though this was not a huge total on a very quick-scoring ground, given the quality of Repton’s out-cricket in previous rounds the side went into the second half of the game confidently.
Like Repton the holders lost an early wicket as Ranatunga chipped Luke Lacey to mid on and with left-arm spinner, Tom Eldred, producing a superb spell of 4-0-17-3 and Lacey 4-0-21-3 the Dulwich innings was soon in tatters at 39-6. Matt Wood, the side’s most effective Twenty/20 bowler, contributed 3-19, Josh Moore grabbed a wicket and three catches and Tom Poynton delivered one of his trademark leg-side stumpings as Repton cantered to victory, dismissing Dulwich for just 87 in 13.3 overs.
Frank Watson, Master in Charge of Cricket at Repton said: “This magnificent result was a fitting way to end a great season which has seen the boys win 18 matches and also to mark the last season for Mike Kettle, who has been groundsman/coach at Repton for 30 years. Tom Poynton has led the side superbly but every member of the 14-man squad has played a significant part in the campaign at some stage and this was, ultimately, a team effort. We are, of course, delighted.”
