County Cricket Champions

Our school team had a fantastic day in Ipswich today. They took part in a tournament for Suffolk's 12 district champions. In the morning Framlingham won their group to progress to the knockout stages in the afternoon.
Fram won their quarter final vs Stonham Aspal by 53 runs.
The semi - final was against a strong Claydon side. Batting first Fram got off to a flyer with David Dyer hitting 5 sixes. Claydon were always under pressure chasing Fram's large score and finished 54 runs short.
Fram saved an even better performance for the final. All of our batters contributed (7 sixes in all).
St James's Middle School from Bury were pegged back by excellent bowling from Guy Blades, Callum Tysoe and Jake Seaber to finish 43 runs behind.
This was an emphatic result in the final. Fram will now go forward to represent Suffolk in the Eastern Counties Regionals on 5th July. A top 2 finish there would see the boys get to the Nationals.
