Back in 2010, Hampshire Under-13s were the pride of the West, Taunton festival winners .. so no wonder team managers Steve Oliphant and John Boniface look so delighted either side of Sheila, the scorer.
The squad was (from left): Tom Martin, Will Arnold, Felix Ambrose, Eddie Lewis, Joe Weatherley, Scott Tilson, Andy Gorvin, Charlie Ayers, George Watts. Front: Paddy Oakshott, Brad Taylor, Tom Boon, Ryan Murray.
Hampshire won 11 of their 16 matches that summer to finish runners-up in the U13 County Championship.
Joe Weatherley, with 667 runs, was the stand-out performer at Taunton and joined Will Arnold in making a festival hundred. Brad Taylor took 21 wickets.
Interestingly, they faced three 'to be' England Test players in the tournament in Devon's Dom Best, Essex's Dan Lawrence and Lancashire leg-spin bowler Matt Parkinson, who made four ODI appearances in New Zealand (2019) and South Africa last winter.
* We plan to feature more Hampshire junior age group teams during the lockdown.
