The winners of each event were as follows: Year 5 - St Hilary, Penzance, Year 6 Mixed - St Hilary, Penzance, Girls - Bude, Hardball - St Hilary, Penzance

St Hilary Primary School from near Penzance also went on to win the Regional final and represent the South West at Trent Bridge in the National Finals

Tim Marrion, Cornwall Cricket Development Manager commented "The Kwik Cricket festivals are great fun for the children each child has a go at bowling and batting and is guaranteed at least 4 games on the day. Kwik cricket is a fast moving game introducing children to the game of cricket. Even though we do have winners on the day it's very much about taking part and enjoying yourselves in the surroundings of a cricket club. Every child that participates goes away with a certificate what ever position they finish'
