KINGS HEATH WON BY 89 RUNS

Josh Baker and Callum Bird opened for Kings Heath in this must win game; but surprisingly both batsmen were out for just a single each. Umar and Ben strode to the crease and slowly but surely built their innings, with quick singles and odd two's before hitting the odd boundary and Umar’s first six of the season. Umar reached his 50 before being caught at mid on for 52. Louie Turpie joined Ben who completed the innings with his season top score of 46.

With the knowledge that Kings Heath had to bowl out Sheldon to be sure of winning the South Birmingham League; Rashid bowled fast from the top end and began with a miserly five runs off his first three overs. Louie began from the other end with a maiden, followed by two wickets for two runs. Rash then delivered his best over of the season taking three wkts for no runs. Callum and Naweed picked up the attack taking a wicket each. Umar and Mohammed Akthar came on and Mo took the final Sheldon wicket to see Kings Heath come through the challenge and step up to the plate and win the South Birmingham League. The win was witnessed by the coaching management and parents who have supported the lads through the season.

U13 v Weoley Hill (away), 01/07/09

League match at Kings Norton Boys School

Kings Heath 123 for 7 in 20 overs

Kings Norton 56 for 8 in 20 overs

KINGS HEATH WON BY 67 RUNS

Following the quickly re-arranged venue the sixth league game of the season began with captain Louie Turpie winning the toss and electing to bat. Josh Baker and Joe Jennings led the way against a young Kings Norton side; core scoring by Josh, Ben Rattley, Luke Baker and an accomplished 33 by Umar Rehman put a good score of 123 on the board. It was an unpredicable artificial wicket with a very slow outfield that made runs hard to get. Many balls did not rise and left batsmen in two minds about what shot to play. Umar’s innings was brought to an end by a catch taken by Jamey Field in the midriff off a sharp boundary bound shot by Umar.

Kings Heath went out to bowl on a tricky wicket; the bowlers run ups were on grass and with no spikes it was difficult to keep balance. Rashid and Naweed opened the attack and Naweed excelled with accurate line and length at medium pace – achieving figures of 4-3-1-3. Callum Bird and Pardeep Ruprai bowled beautifully to achieve one wicket for nine runs and one for 16 respectively. Louie came on for two overs and took two consecutive wickets from his first two balls. Rashid had a difficult session on the pitch that resulted in him being withdrawn following two consecutive unintended beamers after conceding only four runs off 3.5 overs.

Under quite a lot of cloud Harbornne captain Tom Cloughton won the toss and chose to bat. Opening bowlers Rashurd Ali and Louie Turpie bowled an aggressive and accurate four overs each. Three quick wickets fell for 14 with great fielding all round with stops by Luke Baker and Umar Rehman in particular saving precious runs. A secure partnership of 65 saw Harborne reach 98 for 5 from 20 overs.

The Kings Heath innings began with the surprise loss of Josh Baker’s wicket after high scores in the last three matches. Callum Bird came in to build a brilliant partnership with Umar to to overcome the total. The pair balanced quick singles and well placed boundaries with a classy 23 from Callum with Umar posting an exciting and assured 53. Both received vigorous support from parents, coaches, young players and the team.

U13 v Attock, 15/06/09

Following the unhappy washout and abandonment of this game on Thursday 10th June it was rapidly rearranged to meet again on the 'play by' deadline for Monday 15th at Attock.Although a major downpour in South Birmingham nearly put a kibosh on the fixture for a second time, the Attock Manager managed to get the game on. The sun intermittently broke through the clouds and Attock won the toss and chose to bat.

Rashurd and Louie opened with a fast paced attack keeping Attock score down to 25 from eight overs; Rashurd taking two wickets. Pardeep, Callum, Umar and Naweed were joined for the first time this season by Mo Akthar. Between them they bowled out attock for 55 with three overs to spare; Callum taking 3 wickets for a miserly one run.

With a small total to achieve openers Umar Rehman and Josh Baker went about their business efficienctly with both selecting their shots well and reaching their target in seven overs without loss.

U13 v Moseley Ashfield, 04/06/09

On an increasingly gloomy evening the local derby was played out in good spirit. Moseley Ashfield captain Tom Colsby won the toss and chose to bowl.

Kings Heath opener Josh Baker strode out to the wicket and immediately picked up from his last two high scoring innings.He received intermittent support as he headed for an assured 53 before being caught. Callum Bird, Rashurd Ali and Hassan Farooq all contributed double figures as Kings Heath progressed to a commendable 133 from 20 overs.

Then came the Kings Heath Bowlers! Rashurd and Louie Turpie delivered a fast and accurate eight over attack. Rash achieved three maidens and gave only one run in his fourth over. At the other end Louie Turpie took the Moseley Ashfield opening batsmen LBW and bowled respectively. Naweed Uddin, Callum Bird and Pardeep Ruprai followed up with brilliant medium and slow bowling to pin the batsmen down and take wickets regularly. They were backed up by energetic and committed fielding all round with the whole team focused on keeping it tight.

Moseley Ashfield were all out for 56 after 17.4 overs and Kings Heath won by 77 runs.

Ben Rattley came in at number 3 and stayed at the crease until the last over and also reached 30. Rashurd batted well to reach 25.
