The Under 14a will be looking for revenge having been well beaten by Hutton in their opening game of the competition. Upminster bounced back from that defeat by beating Shenfield, with Kiran Kullar, Ellis Pickeing and Matthew Bright in the runs, and they followed that up with a 59 run success over local rivals Hornchurch. Pickering, Kullar and Bright were in the runs again before Harvey Daniels and Josh Mason shone with the ball.

Herongate were Upminster's next opponents and with Daniels, Pickering and Kullar in good form Upminster made 99-1. Jack Helen and Pickering then starred with the ball in the Herongate innings as Upminster won by 47 runs. All this meant Upminster needed to beat Brentwood in their final group game to reach the final, and they did this with ease, winning by 38 runs to take their place in the final.

Upminster's fielding has been excellent throughout the competition, with Nathan Brown showing his skills with the keeping gloves and Jack Carter and Amani
putting in some excellent displays.

It should also be noted that five of Upminster's squad are only in the U13 age category and two more are in the U12 category which bodes well for the future.

Well done to Managers Christian Pickering (U14s) and Dave Siggins (U10s) for the work with the Teams and any support on Sunday would be much appreciated by the lads.
