The boys started this game well with Emmanuel, Prashil, Dev and Kavish all bowling accurately and keeping the run rate down and building pressure. Prashil took a wicket with a good catch by Dev and Kavish was the pick of the bowlers taking 2 wickets for 16 runs in his 4 overs. We started the run chase well with Charlie scoring 10 runs in a 61 run opening partnership with Kavish who went on to score an excellent 71 not out to win the game for his team.
Well done to all the boys on a good result and special mention to Kavsih for an outstanding all-round performance.
This was the first game of cricket of the season for the Year 5 boys and for the hard ball team, it was the first ever hard ball match for some of them. All the teams played with great enthusiasm and they were a real credit to the school. The hard ball team faced some tough opposition and we lost too many wickets. Henry was the top scorer with 14 runs and Yuvraaj and Freddie also batted well. All the boys bowled well but the Heath Mount team proved to be too strong on the day.
In the soft ball matches the boys bowled really well with great accuracy. However it was the batting that was our weak point and we lost too many wickets. This is an area we will have to focus on this week. Radlett Cricket Club Please see below a poster from Radlett Cricket Club regarding their Girls' Cricket Festival.
