At the tournament organised by Belmont and Edgware Cricket Club, an innings of 56 from David Ullman steered Hasmonean to victory in the opener against King Solomon. Hasmonean posted 135-9 with the East Londoners replying with 87-9.

JFS beat Immanuel College by six wickets in the other semi-final. Joel Sinclair's 28 helped Immanuel score 114-5. Joshua Shafer top-scored with 49 in the JFS reply.

Batting first in the final, JFS scored 114-5. Shaffer was the key man again as his assured 45 enabled Hasmonean to win with six wickets to spare.

King Solomon (86-8) won the 3rd/4th playoff after Immanuel (79-7).

After lifting the trophy, Shafer was named best batsman while Benjamin Lederman of JFS was the top bowler.

Tournament organiser Neil Myeroff said: "The day was a great success. It gives the schools an opportunity to play competitive cricket and boosts Belmont & Edgware's colts section."
