While the Skegness school only pocketed one individual award, consistency across the board led them to winning the Key Stage Two category and clinching team awards in the Year Six boys and girls categories, as well as the Year Five boys division.

The event was held at Alford and District Cricket Club and also attended by Withern, Willoughby, Mablethorpe, Bilsby, Seathorne, Huttoft, and Chapel St Leonards schools.
