Good to see the under 18's complete a 50-overs double over Ireland under 19's yesterday and today. Theo Wylie stood out today on a spinning track taking seven wickets as the Irish slumped after a strong start against the seamers Rory Haydon and Sam Atkinson. Earlier Daniyal Khan had top scored with 70 for the Bears.

They have a semi final up at Chester-le-Street this coming Sunday after winning their quarter final hosted by Barnt Green last Sunday in unusual circumstances (owing to damage to the pitch caused by a stray cricket ball in the warm up slipping beneath the heavy roller in operation one end was deemed unfit for left handers so it was decided after a quick phone call to Lord's that all overs had to be bowled from a single end in order to complete the tie)

Warks under 18's next home 3-day game is versus Northants starting next Tuesday

Nice post, good info. Seem to be doing well in the white ball stuff after some heavy defeats in the red ball. Oliver Dandy has been in the runs I notice.

George Maddy with 80* to get the U18's up to 244/8 away at Durham in the Semi Final. Didn't look like we'd get that many at one point.

A good win. Final versus Somerset at Kibworth in a couple of weeks the same Sunday the first team resume their Championship season at Surrey.

Kibworth appears to have two pitches so hosting the final and the 3rd versus 4th game simultaneously

An agreement was reached at lunchtime and what an entertaining afternoon thereafter.

9 overs of joke bowling and I mean absolute filth lifted Bears score by 190 runs this setting Northants 265 to win in 55 overs. Amir Khan had made a patient 85 before the lunch interval and then benefitted alongside Daniyal Khan from the joke bowling, moving from his 100 to his 150 in just twelve minutes.

A game Northants had in the bag at 2 down at tea time and and again at 6 down and the drinks break when final hour was called they looked very comfortable.

Terrific effort from Sam Atkinson and when his quota of overs was spent the spinners stepped up to claim the final three wickets with some splendid catches too.

Playing the Final against Somerset at Kibworth today.

We got a decent score of 262 in our 50, largely down to George Maddy (77). And have taken 4 wickets (for 60, off 15 overs).

We won by 48 runs. All the bowlers (except Blakemore), getting amongst the wickets.
A great team performance.
National Under 18's One Day Cup Champions!

Hopefully the future is in good hands.
