The first game on Sunday 29th June was a fixture between a team captained by Ben Harris and one captained by Lucian Weston. A splendid innings by Harry Florry playing for Ben's team meant that they overcame Lucian's XI even though Lucian scored an excellent 50 himself.
On the following Sunday, 6th July, the Sennockians played against Homerton College, Cambridge who were captained by OS James Marshall. The weather was pretty awful but both teams fought hard in the rain with Homerton eventually coming out on top.
On Thursday 10th July the Sennockians took part in a three way Twenty20 competition with the Vine Cricket Club and Old Tonbridgians. This was an excellent event organised as part of the Vine Cricket week. The Sennockians manages a 7 wicket win over the Tonbridgians; a highlight was a hard-hitting innings from Dan Hayley who hit several huge 6s as he set up the Sennockians victory. In the final match, The Vine's total of 209 in 20 overs proved too much for the Sennockians who fell short despite an outstanding 80 from Ed Grant. This game included a number of fine catches, and one outstanding diving catch by Neil Shirreff proved to be one of the highlights of the day. A great deal of thanks must go to former Sevenoaks School Chairman of Governors, Bob Wilkinson for his hard work in organising the day.
