Following their success last year Alderley Edge U11s cricket team were invited back to play in the prestigious cricket tournament held in the MCC Academy Indoor school at Lords cricket ground.
In their first game Alderley played the home favourites Primrose Hill and a thrilling match ended in a tie with both teams scoring 118 runs.
In their second game Edge took on a team from Amsterdam and completely overwhelmed their Dutch opponents VRA, scoring 148 to 18 runs.
In the next game Alderley Edge put on another impressive total of 122 runs with their opponents Bovey Tracey, a team from Devon, falling short in their response of 86 runs.
Alderley finished joint top of their league and were drawn to play Primrose Hill again in the final.
Electing to bat first Alderley scored 96 runs which unfortunately proved to be not enough to prevent their opponents winning in the penultimate over, scoring 98 for the loss of four wickets.
The team were congratulated on their sterling performance at the prize presentation and returned home this time as runners-up.
