Ilkley Grammar School pupil Matthew Revis is a young batsman with a bright future.

The talented 11-year-old, who plays his club cricket with Burley, received a special award at the Yorkshire Schools Cricket Association’s annual dinner at The Grammar School, Leeds.

The presentation was made by Yorkshire skipper Andrew Gale in recognition of Revis’s prodigous runscoring for the unbeaten Yorkshire Schools under-11 team.

Revis scored a record 1,059 runs in county matches including a century, four nineties and six big fifties.

His total also included 416 runs scored during the five-day festival at Taunton which Yorkshire won for the second year with emphatic victories over Middlesex, Bucking- hamshire, Cheshire, Devon and Wales.

Yorkshire’s under 11’s completed the season unbeaten over 17 matches under the shrewd captaincy of Elliot Goldthorp from Rawdon’s Benton Park School.

Matthew’s older brother Daniel, 14, is also a a talented cricketer who has won Yorkshire honours this season.

He was selected for the Yorkshire Schools under-14s where he caught the eye with his bowling powess. Daniel also attends Ilkley Grammar School and plays for Burley.
