Mr Fowlds and Mr Burrows have been running cricket practice every Monday during the Summer term and this week saw the Year 7 team play their first fixture of the season. It was fantastic to see 16 players make the short journey to Thornleigh to participate in the friendly fixture and provide valuable experience for when the team enter cup competitions next year. All students had the opportunity to bat and bowl and Sharples managed to score over 70 runs from their innings. Unfortunately, this didn’t prove to be enough as Thornleigh managed to reach the total in their timed innings.
Cricket is currently being taught in lessons and the school are looking for increased interest and attendance to the lunchtime and after school club and hopefully more fixtures for other year groups this term.
