Quatt U17s have been crowned the first-ever winners of the Shropshire U17 T20 County Cup, following an excellent 50-run victory over Whitchurch in the final at Wroxeter Cricket Club.
Having won the toss, Quatt elected to bat and set about building a competitive total. It was an all-round batting performance, with contributions throughout the order.
The innings started at great pace, with Jack Sherrard and Evan Poole setting the tone brilliantly and putting Quatt on the front foot from the outset.
As the innings progressed, Player of the Match Bertie Kyte produced a fantastic innings to anchor the Quatt total. Kyte batted with great composure and aggression, falling agonisingly short of his retirement at 50, as Quatt finished on an impressive 135/8 from their 20 overs.
With 135 on the board, we set about the second innings with exactly the attitude required for a cup final.
The tone was set from the very first over, with some excellent fielding immediately putting pressure on the Whitchurch batsmen. We continued to go from strength to strength, maintaining the intensity in the field and creating opportunities throughout the innings.
Two excellent run-outs from Tom O’Donnell and Josh Hulland provided the early breakthroughs we were looking for and put Whitchurch under significant pressure.
From there, the wickets were shared around the bowling attack, with everyone contributing to what was a superb team bowling performance. Ben Musgrave was the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets as we steadily dismantled the Whitchurch innings.
Whitchurch were eventually bowled out for 85 in 18.5 overs, handing us a comprehensive 50-run victory and, more importantly, the title of the first-ever Shropshire U17 T20 County Cup champions.
It has been a fantastic journey for this U17 group. On their route to the final, they had already overcome two seriously strong sides in Codsall and Wellington, making today’s achievement even more impressive.
To come through such a competitive competition and then produce a performance like this in the final is a great reward for the players and everyone involved with the U17 side.
Huge congratulations to all the players, coaches, parents and supporters who have contributed throughout the competition.
