KING'S School Ely's under-14 team progressed to the next round of the Lord's Taverners Cup competition after edging past Thomas Deacon Academy.
Asked to bat first, King's batsmen struggled to hit top gear and, aside from a decent knock of 29 from Oliver Jones, they found themselves all out for just 119.
With leather in hand though, the King's bowling attack took their opponents to task lead by the heroics of slow bowler, Jamie Huffer.
Huffer from Fordham, was irresistibly accurate with the ball and took six wickets in just five overs to skittle Thomas Deacon for 91, handing King's an unlikely victory.
