Cricket News<br />
McKenzie and Company Cup Winner <strong>2015</strong><br />
The<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> force, managed by Mr Wain and Mr Rattu,<br />
arrived at Regents Park. Having won the previous<br />
tournament beating Twickenham Academy and Featherstone High<br />
School and drawing against Isleworth & Syon in an intense match,<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong>’s year 9 & 10 combined team qualified for the McKenzie<br />
& Company Cup <strong>2015</strong>. We met up at Southall Station early on<br />
a hot Wednesday morning in July<br />
<strong>2015</strong>, with our packed cricket kits.<br />
We were ready to go and win the<br />
competition.<br />
The 7 over format favoured the<br />
team with the two big hitters,<br />
Hamza Hussein (year 9) and<br />
Junaid Aurangzeb (year 10) who<br />
were hitting everything out the<br />
ground. There was no stopping<br />
them. With the rules coming into<br />
play, the batsman had to retire once they reached 20, which was disappointing<br />
after seeing the big hits from the two openers. None the less <strong>Cranford</strong> could finish<br />
off the game with the middle order batsman, Amaan (year 9) Vignesh Kannan<br />
(year 10) and Aadil Awan (year 10). Our opening bowler Sahib put the pressure<br />
early on the opposing team in every game after earning at least a wicket to his<br />
name in all three games. With some awesome fielding by John and Ryan (year 9),<br />
we were able to defeat Hayden and Stephney Green School in the two opening<br />
group games of the day and win our group.<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> was in the final. One more win against Bethnal Green School (winners of group B) in the finals, would<br />
crown <strong>Cranford</strong> champions. The team were on their toes on every ball, and with the encouragement and support<br />
from one another, <strong>Cranford</strong> had won the McKenzie & Company Cup <strong>2015</strong>. Winning a trophy, medals for each<br />
of us, shirts, tickets to one of the Middlesex games, kit bags for the school and most importantly qualifying for<br />
the regional finals and representing<br />
Middlesex, it turned out to be a great<br />
day after all. Without a team effort<br />
this would not have been possible.<br />

<strong>Cranford</strong> cricketers represent 6 counties<br />
in the Regional Finals in Chelmsford<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> cricketers represented<br />
6 counties in the regional finals<br />
in Chelmsford. Winning their<br />
first game by 7 wickets they were<br />
boosted with confidence. Junaid,<br />
Vignesh and Tawos each played a<br />
beautiful innings to give <strong>Cranford</strong> the<br />
win. Going into their second game,<br />
the team were confident after they posted 68 runs from 7 overs. Hamza (year 9) getting 20 runs from 6 balls.<br />
Unfortunately the opposing team had a few good starting overs getting 36 runs from the first 3 overs. Despite<br />
the efforts from Akshat who only conceded 4 runs in his over and Aadil who got 2 wickets, <strong>Cranford</strong> lost the<br />
game and was not able to reach the final game.<br />
Even though they did not reach the final, <strong>Cranford</strong> still won their 3rd game and came 3rd in the competition. Well<br />
done to the team and a special thanks to Mr Wain and Mr Rattu for supporting us all the way. Let’s make sure we<br />
are better and even stronger next year round boys.<br />
