Sports in Kenilworth

Kenilworth Cricket Club survived an early batting slump to claim a 55-run win over Nuneaton this Saturday.

Kenilworth found themselves on 5 for three and then 19 for four before they recovered to post 185 for 10 in the weekend's Warwickshire Cricket league Division One clash.

After watching Ali Zaryab make a match-winning 122 when the clubs last met in May, Himley suffered at the hands of Kenilworth Wardens Pakistani pro for a second time on Saturday.

If Zaryab's dismissal for a first ball duck initially balanced the scales, when the hosts then progressed to 78 for three in pursuit of their visitors' meagre 128 all out the odds were stacked in the Black Country side's favour.

Kenilworth Sporting have today announced three new signings as the side prepares for their first season in the Midland Football League Division Two.

Manager Martin Ascroft has welcomed Cameron Welch, James Hughes and Josh Bird to his senior squad today.

Former Kenilworth youth player Jacob Umaga made his senior international debut for England during their 43-29 victory over USA at Twickenham yesterday.

Umaga, who plays his club rugby for Wasps, was a member of the junior setup at Kenilworth from the under 8's all the way up to the under 16's.

Rain forced the abandonment of Kenilworth Wardens' home game against Bridgnorth with the match well poised.

By this point Wardens' in-form wicket-keeper Henry Cullen had combined with fit-again Pakistani pro Ali Zaryab in a fifth-wicket partnership worth 118.

Rain ruined Kenilworth Cricket Club's match against Solihull Blossomfield this Saturday as the game was abandoned within 10 overs of Kenilworth's innings.

Solihull had already posted a stiff 275 for eight from their 50 overs, including a superb unbeaten 140 from skipper Chris Kenny.

A stunning maiden hat-trick from teenager Will Machin from his seven-over spell saw Kenilworth Cricket Club claim an eight-wicket win over King's Heath this Sunday.

The Kenilworth bowlers kept King's Heath to 126 all out as they cemented the Town side's position at the top of the ASCL Division Three table.

A fine 87 from George Baines saw Kenilworth Cricket Club claim a 53-run victory over neighbours Leamington in the WCCL Division One this Saturday.

Kenilworth had originally posted 267-5 from their 50 overs, but the rain-affected match saw hosts Leamington chase a revised DLS target of 227.

Half-centuries from Ben Rex and Ali Zaryab plus three wickets for Amun Bal and Tommy Rex failed to prevent Kenilworth Wardens slipping to a third consecutive Birmingham Premier League Division Two defeat.

In a thrilling finish, Harborne claimed a one-wicket home win thanks to a determined effort from last pair Alex Kirkpatrick and Henry Arnold who survived nearly an hour to take the hosts from 143-9 to the 187 required.
