Markham College wins first Inter-Schools Cup in 2010

Markham College, boasting a number of players from the Peru U13 squad, had comfortable wins against Cambridge School and Hiram Bingham School, on Sunday, 21^st November, 2010 in order to win the inaugural Lima Inter-Schools Cup.

Pick of the batsmen was S. Chavez, who top-scored with 28 in the final; while the best bowler was E. Arrarte, who picked up 3 wickets for 11 runs over the course of the tournament. Not surprisingly, both are from Markham College.

Hiram Bingham had reached the final courtesy of a hard-fought win over Newton College. J. Lewis, opening the batting, anchored the innings, as they reached 34 for 1 ; they then restricted Newton to 30, with some accurate bowling and sharp fielding.  

This mini-tournament was held as part of the Tim Bayly Cricket Festival, with games held in conjunction with the adult Sixes tournament; and all the teams were rewarded with a delicious barbecue served on the boundary.

Congratulations to all involved, for being part of an excellent and historic day, initiating inter-schools cricket in Lima.
