The GB Liners Herefordshire Junior League Finals day - U15’s

On Sunday,kindly hosted by Brockhampton CC, saw the first of our 3 finals days, and it provided an exciting afternoon of cricket, with four teams battling it out for the title.

Semi-Final 1 – Brock v Eastnor

Brock won the toss and elected to bat, posting 94–6. Finn Goodwin top-scored with 20, while Will Morgan took the only Eastnor wicket.

Eastnor chased the total successfully, finishing on 96–1. Monty Friedman led the way with an excellent 53 retired not out, having earlier bowled a very economical spell of 10 balls for just 7 runs. Teifion O’Connor also impressed with 2 wickets for 8 runs as Eastnor progressed to the final.

Semi-Final 2 – Burghill v Ludlow

Burghill batted first and produced the highest score of the day, reaching 159–4. Mo Sabir retired not out for 51, Harry Jones made an unbeaten 38 and Noah Herbert added 26.

Ludlow fought hard in reply, with Hugo Smout scoring 33 and Ben Brassington 25, but Burghill’s bowling and strong total proved too much. Ludlow finished on 124–4, sending Burghill through to the final.

The Final – Burghill v Eastnor

Eastnor won the toss and batted first, setting Burghill a challenging target with 199–7. Monty Friedman once again led from the front with 51 retired not out, while Austin Seal contributed an excellent 42. Oscar Brown-Good bowled an outstanding spell, taking 2 wickets for just 6 runs, with Teifion O’Connor again proving extremely economical.

Burghill battled bravely in reply, with Harry Jones finishing unbeaten on 40 and Mo Sabir scoring 21. Unfortunately, Noah Herbert was forced to leave the field injured after bowling seven balls for four runs.

Burghill finished on 94–6, meaning Eastnor were crowned champions after an excellent Finals Day.

Congratulations to all four teams, umpires, scorers and all the volunteers involved, for the quality of cricket, sportsmanship and effort shown throughout the day.
