Whanganui High School Sports

What a season for our WHS Boys Cricket First XI, securing 3 trophies in 2024. The courage and grit displayed from the boys was immense to win the Whanganui Men’s P2 T20 competition, Whanganui Men’s P2 40 Over competition, and the Ross Taylor Bat down in Palmerston North.

WHS started strong in the Whanganui Men’s P1 45 Over competition, with a memorable victory against Collegiate's First XI.

Their victory against Collegiate was particularly impressive, with a strong batting performance by Logan Symes, Nick Burroughs, Harry Burroughs, and Ryan Meredith. Combined with stellar bowling by Charlie Meredith and Regan McRae, WHS prevailed in a tight final over, securing the win. They continued their success by winning the P2 T20 competition in a dramatic final against the Renegades that went to a super over.

Heading to the Ross Taylor Bat in Palmerston North, WHS put in a solid performance, finishing with a net run rate that just edged out St. John's College for the win. Lastly, in the P2 40 Over competition final, a strong partnership between Nick Burroughs and Harry Burroughs, along with key bowling performances by Charlie Meredith and Drew Brennan, helped WHS secure the trophy by 4 runs against Marton Saracens. What an incredible effort and series of achievements for the Boys Cricket First XI this season!

A huge thanks to coach Steve Meredith for his support and dedication he gives to our 1st XI.
