Despite Tom Calvin taking wickets in each of his first 2 overs, St Bede’s 1st XI relinquished the Durham Trophy in the face of an excellent partnership of 175 for the 4th wicket between favourite son, Josh Coll (97) and Richard Morgan (52). The Marist boys were unable to threaten The Willows total, despite 8 batsmen getting a start. Players of the day for St Bede’s were Tom Calvin, Ken Henry and Captain James Boock. Following the match there was emotion and excitement when Paul McEwan announced that three of the players, Matt Henry (St Bede’s), Tom Latham (CBHS) and Matt McEwan (STAC) were selected in The Willows U/17 team to travel to India and the Middle East in March this year.
