In the Tier 1 Essex Cup competition Mayfield comfortably beat William Edwards, reaching 147-3, helped by Daim (43 runs) and Muhammad A. (80 runs). William Edwards only managed 127 in reply with Yash (two wickets) and Munsoor the pick of the bowlers. In the second round they had a tough draw, facing pre-tournament favourites Brentwood School. Despite some good bowling from Muhammad A. to take two big wickets and an excellent run out from debutant Zabet, Brentwood set a run target that was too much for Mayfield to chase.

In the London Cup Mayfield had a mixed start to the competition. Their first game v Robert Clack saw Robert Clack set a target of 134 which Mayfield could not chase. Some better results followed, including a recent win against Barking Abbey. Mayfield bowled out Barking Abbey for just 82 runs, helped by some excellent bowling from Muhammad A. (five wickets), Yash (two wickets) and Munsoor (two wickets). Mayfield took just seven overs to reach the target with Muhammad A. getting 50 runs and Daim (22 runs) hitting a six to take Mayfield over the line. Mayfield now await other results to see if they will progress into the final four.

In the Essex Cricket 8-a-side tournament, Mayfield comfortably won their group by beating Barking Abbey and Woodlands in their two group games. Played in a paired format, all pupils played well and contributed to the wins. In the final, against old rivals Robert Clack, Mayfield set a good target for Robert Clack to chase, but some good batting from them resulted in a 15 run win for Robert Clack. Mayfield still came runners-up in the competition, though, so well done to all boys involved.
