Newport CC U/13's Win Ken Barrington Cup and Crowned as National Club Champions.
Roger Knight, the former England batsman, praised the young Newport team for their unbeaten week's perfomances, before handing over to Ann Barrington, widow of former Test cricketer Ken, to present medals and the Ken Barrington Cup to Newport CC captain Max Scarr, as Winners of the MCC 'Spirit of Cricket' U/13 National Club Championship. A fantastic achievement.
Individual and team pictures were taken with the Ken Barrington Cup, before it was returned to the Vaults of Lords, as it is so valuable. Newport receive a replica to keep.
In August 2008 the team, then Under 15's nearly completed the Double when they lost in the Final of the U15 UK National Finals. Having won the Welsh Cup for the fourth consecutive year, the team progressed to the UK Finals in Bournemouth. They beat Wem (Shropshire) in the semi finals before losing to Tunbridge Wells in the Final.
