10 men Kings Heath crushed Kings Norton & Weoley Hill by 10 wickets in the first league game of the season. After electing to field, Kings Heath felt the strain of the missing fielder with wide gaps through which Kings Norton initially scored freely. Captain Louie Turpie, fielding at deep fine leg during his bowling spell, adapted his plans by changing the bowlers frequently in search of wickets. Rashid bowled fast and straight, after terrifying the opposition batsmen the previous year, and was rewarded with a wicket. Omar Dawood, bowling left arm over the wicket, only conceded 14 runs during his four over spell. Luke Baker bowled two overs of off spin and quickly impressed the coach with his control of flight and his ability to outthink batsmen. Tom Boyce showed excellent control and achieved more bounce than the batters expected and collected two wickets. Louie returned for the death overs and was rewarded with three quick wickets, and was on a hat-trick at one stage. The bowling performance was marred only a poor standard fielding display. Four simple catches were put down and the ground fielding was little better. There was significant room for improvement but it was encouraging that opposition teams could be restricted to a low total despite bad fielding. The chase was always going to be comfortable, and the experimental batting order was not given a chance to reach the crease. The required runs were collected in clinical fashion with plenty of drives through the off side. The winning moment came with the scores level; Umar clipped a six off his legs into the midwicket fence.

U15s v Kenilworth (away), 25/04/10

Kings Heath 146 for 6 in 25 overs (Josh Baker 68, Tom Salliss 40, Umar Rehman 18)

Kenilworth 147 for 4 in 18 overs

KENILWORTH WON BY 6 WICKETS

Kings Heath lost the toss and were put into bat in difficult conditions. Openers Tom Salliss (40 runs from 54 balls) and Josh Baker (68 runs from 59 balls) put on a partnership of 89 before Tom was bowled by the first ball that stayed low all morning - just pitching and dying before hitting the stumps. Under 14 Umar Rehman also contributed 18 to the team total, as Kings Heath finished on 146 for 6 from 25 overs.

This was a decent total to defend, but unfortunately due to a combination of poor bowling, poor fielding and strong batting, Kenilworth managed to knock off the total in 18 overs. A disappointing result.

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.
