Wanstead Cricket Club have won the Essex Premier League for 2022 after another amazing season which also saw the second XI win their league too.
The first team finally went over the winning line last weekend when half of the usual players were abroad at a wedding, meaning that some of the club’s younger players were drafted in to the team to finish matters. One, fifteen-year-old Ali Zeb, scored 52 runs and took four wickets in the team’s victory over Chingford.
Captain Joe Ellis-Grewal told BBC Essex listeners about the club’s drive to bring on young players.
Well played The Herons!
