He defended superbly on the off side and played to his strengths, by punishing the loose deliveries to the leg side boundary. Our Lady batted first, achieving 78 for 9 off their alloted 20 overs. What was encouraging to home fans, was that many of the bowlers posted their first wickets of the season. Snape 2 for 12, Mihell 2 for 9, Hodgson 1 for 9, Parkinson 2 for 12, McNamee 2 for 9. McNamee's fine contribution also included the crucial catch of the dangerous Lupton. In reply, Hodgson was played well for 8 and Snape looked to take charge with two monstrous sixes in his brief stay of 14. McNamee and Mihell chipped in with 5 a piece and Mellon struck a belligerent quick-fire 11. Pleasingly, like the bowling, everyone contributed to this top team win. It left Smith, ably assisted by Anderson, to get KGS over the line in the 18th over to book a place in the next round. **KGS 81 for 7 and won by 3 wickets.** **Tags:** [2018-2019](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2018-2019) [Sports](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/sports) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2019-05-03-pro-coach-tennis-sessions) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2019-05-10-spring-concert) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
