Scorecard

St Paul's School registered their highest total of the tournament so far to seal a third successive victory and wrap the 2025 Cricketer Schools 100 title.

Seb Jones led the way for St Paul's, striking a 16-ball 33, hitting six boundaries, with two of those clearing the rope.

Krishan Sornalingam added 28 from 34, and Sai Bhatia 17, as St Paul's posted 116 for 6.

In reply, Kingswood, who were seeking to back up their victory earlier in the day, started well, with brothers Freddie and Tom Stappard, sharing an opening stand of 41.

However, 14 balls later, both were gone, with Kingswood slipping from 41 for 0, to 50 for 3.

Fergus de Mestre picked up the wicket of the danger man, Freddie Stappard - who struck 84 from 44 against Park View Academy - trapping the opener lbw for 28.

Toby Eayres (16) and Sam Dunmow (10) kept the chase just about alive, but St Paul's continued to chip away at the wickets, and when rain arrived with 93 balls gone, Kingswood were 89 for 7.

St Paul's finish the tournament with a 100 per cent record and depart Spain as The Cricketer Schools 100 champions for 2025.
