THE HOWARD WIN MEDWAY BRAGGING RIGHTS! What a start to the season for our Year 9 Cricket Team, who opened their Kent Cup campaign with a fantastic win against local rivals Rainham Mark Grammar School! After a mixed bowling and fielding display, the boys dug deep and finished strongly, restricting Rainham Mark to 116 from 20 overs. A special mention to A.T., who took an incredible 5 wickets, and C.R., who added 2 wickets of his own! Then came the batting... and The Howard boys really stepped up! G.S. and O.T. gave the team a solid start before captain A.W. and vice-captain C.R. took control with a superb partnership of around 90 runs. With A.W. scoring 34 and C.R. scoring 37, The Howard secured a brilliant 8-wicket victory and move on to Round 2! A big shoutout as well to B.B., J.H. and Z.M., who represented the team for the first time and fitted in superbly. Amazing effort, boys Up The Howard!
