Seabrook leads county to emphatic victory

GRENEWAY’S Ben Seabrook was part of the successful Cambridge CB under-11 team who beat Suffolk by eight wickets recently.
He helped to restrict the visitors to 153-9 and took a wicket finishing with figures of 7–1–29–1.
Chasing a total of 154 to win from their allotted 40 overs, Ben hit a superb unbeaten 71 from only 55 balls, with 12 fours and a huge six along the way. His efforts were part of a match-winning unbeaten 126 run partnership with Sam Charlton.

Meanwhile, Greneway’s powerful Year Seven and Eight athletes opened their accounts in their respective North Herts Schools’ Leagues with some excellent individual and team performances.
The pick of the night was a new Year 7 Boys 200m record for Justin Leavers which had stood sine 1994.
