WELL-EARNED VICTORY FOR YEAR 10 CRICKETERS

The Year 10s took on Ripon Grammar School in the 1st round of the Yorkshire Cup, winning by 25 runs in what was a tight game. Batting first, Richmond posted 133-2 thanks mainly to the calm and collected innings of 55 not out by Jack. In reply, Ripon posted 108-9 from their 20 overs, however this didn’t tell the full story. After 12 overs, Ripon were sat on 78-0 and looked in full control, however a great catch from Max off the bowling of James helped to remove the Ripon opening batter which then led to a clatter of wickets, with Jack following up his excellent knock with the bat by claiming 3 precious wickets in the process. It was a tough test for the boys but they remained positive throughout to claim a well-earned victory.
