Jemima Hilton-Berry, Bexhill College’s Sports Academies’ co-ordinator, said: “We are very proud of our indoor cricket team for their achievement. They played brilliantly to reach the final of the national competition.

“Last year we reached the National Finals, but were beaten in an earlier knockout round so we have improved year-on-year. Hopefully we’ll go one better and win the competition next year.”
