NORTH SHROPSHIRE CRICKET FINALS

A team of Year 5/6 pupils represented us in the North Shropshire cricket finals on Wednesday. They played against three other schools, who had also won their area competitions. Our team played superbly, winning their first two games, then only narrowly losing the third. The next match was the semi-final and after more excellent play, the team won, taking us through to the final. In the final, the team absolutely gave it their all, they encouraged each other, worked so hard and scored brilliant runs. Their fielding was superb, making many excellent catches. The indoor game is incredibly fast and very hard to keep score, but we all agreed we couldn’t have worked any harder. We were delighted when the final results were announced and we had won! The team have now qualified for the Shropshire Games finals in May, where they will play teams from South Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and East Shropshire. Many congratulations to you all, you were amazing and we are so proud of you.

A team of 10 Year 5/6 boys and girls took part in a cricket tournament at Ellesmere College. The team were fantastic! They worked together so well, encouraging and supporting each other. They displayed excellent play and perfect

sporting behaviour. We played three matches initially and were so pleased to win all of them! We then had another game, which we won. This took us to the final. When all the games were completed the organiser announced that we had won over all, winning all of our games during the morning. We are all so proud of the children.

10 Year 3/4 pupils were selected to represent our school in a Quik Cricket festival organised by Shropshire Cricket Board, held at Oswestry School. The team were really excellent and we were very proud watching. They played superbly, demonstrating some super batting and fielding skills. We made a super start winning our first match 33-31. In our second match we narrowly lost 42- 43. In our third match we won 35- 25, but then narrowly lost our next match 22-24. In our final two games we won 20- 15 and ended with a loss 22-31. Well done team, you really should be proud of a great afternoon of cricket. It was very exciting to watch.
