It was heartbreaking defeat for the U11s on Sunday as they tied their Haydn Davies Trophy Quarter Final match with Wanstead but were knocked out having lost more wickets.

Wanstead batted first and made 85 for 3 from their 20 overs with Gus Siggins and Harry Lawes the pick of the Upminster bowlers. In reply Nathan French and Callum Berry put together a solid 3rd wicket partnership to push Upminster towards victory but when they fell the run rate climbed and Upminster finished on 85-9 to exit by the narrowest of margins.

Meanwhile the U13s progressed to the knock out stages of the Len Stentiford Trophy after a victory over Frenford. Josh Mason starred with the ball as Frenford were restricted to 87-9. In reply Harvey Daniels and Jonny Cavannagh both reached the retirement mark as Upminster cruised to an eight wicket victory.

They become the fourth Upminster colts side to progress to the knock out stages of their County or Met Board competition.
