Borstal Cricket Club

Let’s go Boars 🔥

🏏 Weekend Round-Up 🏏

✅ 1st XI vs Whitstable 2nd XI – Won by 42 Runs

A brilliant team performance from the Boars saw us pick up another victory! 💪

Half-centuries from our overseas Eddie and Dylan helped set a strong total, giving us plenty to defend. 🏏🔥

Whitstable started their chase as they have done in all their games this season, but after a couple of wickets fell, the Boars fought their way back into the contest and never looked back. 👏🐗

❌ 2nd XI vs Gravesend 4th XI

A tough afternoon for the 2nd XI, but a special mention goes to The Wizard for his excellent 4-wicket haul 🎩✨

❌ 3rd XI vs Kings Hill 4th XI

So close for the 3s, falling just 8 runs short of victory.

A lovely knock of 60 from Mike kept us right in the hunt and nearly got us over the line. 👏🏏

❌ KVCL XI lost to Newenden

A day to forget for the KVCL side after being bowled out cheaply in a low-scoring game all round.

Credit where it’s due to Chirag on a fine 5-wicket haul 👏🎯

Sunday Boars fall to 2nd in the table but still all to play for 🙌

☀️🥵 The Boars were absolutely BAKING in the sun this weekend… and still bringing the heat on the pitch! 🐗🏏

✅ 1st XI got the green light on the board against Lordswood!
A scorching 100-run partnership from Sam & Dylan set the tone for Borstals innings, before wickets fell steadily in the Lordswood innings to seal a Borstal win in the blazing sunshine 🔥

☀️ The 2nd XI were loving the hot conditions too, with Danny and Fish putting on a sizzling 92-run stand.
Danny finished unbeaten on 73* while Fish added a helpful 50 👏

In reply, Bapchild made 143 with wickets shared between Pai, Anuj, Tarv and Fish 💪

🥵 The 3rd XI faced a strong Faversham 2nd XI under the roasting sun, with the visitors posting 241.
Despite the heat and hard work in the field, Borstal couldn’t quite chase it down — but a special shoutout to Lewis Allan for a brilliant 66 👏🔥

💯 Special mention to Nathan Dandeniya for a red-hot century (100 retired not out) in Sunday’s friendly against Kings Hill! What a knock in the summer heat ☀️🐗
