In order to progress to the final, the team had to overcome both Harlington and Bishopshalt in the group stages. A dominant victory over Bishopshalt in the first match was set-up by a brilliant hat-trick from Ethan H, and an excellent batting display from Niam P. In the second match, Shaunav B guided the team to victory, with a very mature batting performance - despite our team losing a couple of early wickets.

We faced Northwood in the final, who had also won both of their group games. Batting first, RHS were able to amass a very impressive 70 from their 10 overs. However, Northwood looked on course to chase down our total at the halfway stage of the innings. An incredible over from Luca H changed the game, as he picked up two wickets in two balls. A further four wickets from Shaunav B allowed RHS to take control of the game and secure a first borough championship title.

Congratulations to all of the boys involved - you all displayed excellent sportsmanship throughout.
