Beckenham win Kent Mini Super 8s County Finals at Dartford

Kent Cricket Board’s Mini Super 8s County Finals day saw 23 Cricket Clubs converge on Hesketh Park in Dartford on Sunday.

The day is a culmination of a Under 9 competition which saw 80 teams participate in local qualifying events with the winners advancing to Finals Day.

On a day which started bright and sunny, nearly 250 children battled it out for a place on the honours board.

All teams played round robin leagues during the morning with the highest placed winners progressing to play in the afternoon finals league, which saw some outstanding and high quality cricket on display.

After an exciting morning of cricket which gave us plenty of runs, wickets and outstanding fielding performances, the afternoon saw many battles taking place in order to finish in the highest position they possibly could.

The competition for first place saw Beckenham take on Chestfield with both sides undefeated prior to the final. After an excellent match which went down to the last ball, Beckenham came out as winners and were crowned 2014 Champions.

At the close of another excellent competition, the Kent Cricket Board would once again like to extend their thanks to all managers, coaches and parents for making the competition a success, and Dartford CC for hosting as well as providing refreshments throughout the Finals day.
