Haringey’s female team won bronze at the indoor cricket finals of the London Youth Games at Lord’s on Sunday.

The borough team, aged Year 8 and under, came through their qualifying group unbeaten last month.

In their opening match of the finals, Haringey chased down a total of 93 to defeat Kingston.

The side faced Bromley in the semi-finals and their opponents scored 127 from their ten overs.

Haringey rallied after a slow start and reached 100 but it was not enough to earn a place in the final.

Team manager Martin Issett said: “The semi-final was seriously a really good game of cricket; a very strong Bromley team, who I think we ran fairly close as well and there’s no disgrace losing to them.

“The girls gradually warmed to the task as they realised the strength of the opposition.”
