We've done it again! After bringing home the AJIS North West trophies for rugby and football, our boys have made it a solid three by picking up the cricket trophy too after the U11A team played Birkenhead at Kings Chester.
Having only won it once before in 1993, the boys stomped home to victory scoring 97-2 in 15-3 overs with Alex Rankin clocking up an incredible 41 not out closely followed by Charlie Byrne on 26 and Sam Moore on 18. Birkenhead batted first and scored a very respectable 95 for 8 in 20 overs.
Great bowling was also demonstrated from Sam Moore, Jack McComb and Alex Rankin.
Many of the boys featured were also in the winning AJIS rugby and football teams and most had been demonstrating their other talents in the fantastic School Play only 5 days previous. Mr Lyon said: "The team winning the AJIS treble is a fantastic achievement but what is even better is the sportsmanship the boys have demonstrated throughout all of the tournaments. To be able to show such genuine respect to the other teams without losing their competitive spirit on the pitch shows how mature and talented these boys are."
