After losing the toss, St. Edmund's were put into bat and were quickly in trouble after a superb spell from the Ashford opening bowler. Some ‘stalwart’ batting, coupled with some aggressive hitting from the middle order pair of James Pooley and Brindley Kinch, gave some respectability to the scoreline as St. Edmund's posted 88 from their 20 overs. ...Lower Sixth Extended Project Training
