The Haringey borough round saw 12 schools participating and over 96 young people attending the event in which half the number were girls. A great turn out from the borough. Thanks to all the schools that had participated. The day was spilt in two halves. the Morning round final Rhodes Ave faced Campsbourne and won comfortably moving straight into the finals. In the Evening round Roksley’s game looked fierce throughout the group stages and they went on to face South Haringey who also looked immaculate with their game however Roksley won the group stage round and moved into the finals with Rhodes Avenue. In the final the game was evenly poised as both teams had brought A game. The final over of the final between Rhodes Avenue and Roksley was intense and amazing to watch as the Roksley needed 12 to win and Rhodes Avenue 1 wicket to win. Roksley Pulled out ahead in the final with a 6 on the last ball of the inning chasing down the total that Rhodes Avenue set for them.
