A fantastic well done to our cricket team: co-captains Izzie and Olivia, Charlie, Bella C, Bonnie, Erika, Bee, Sienna and Evie who played 5 matches in a Girls Only Dynamos Schools competition at Chippenham CC tournament on Thursday. They started off strong, winning their first match against Queens Crescent but lost the next two matches. They evaluated their own performance and worked out that what was letting them down was that they were being too cautious at taking runs. They lost their fourth match but gained the most runs of all their matches up to that point and in their fifth match, they came fully into their own, getting the runs in and fielding solidly! Izzie and Erika were our big hitters - 18 4s between them! Evie made a great catch and also bowled and ran others out. Bella was our most committed fielder - diving and rolling to stop the opposition from batting 4s. Bonnie became very astute at judging when to run and supported her batting partner ably at this. Sienna was our least experienced player but watched and learned and grew in confidence. Bee, Charley and Olivia made some great hits and accurate bowling and were particularly conscientious at practising and supporting their team mates after lunch before the competition really hotted up.
Thank you so much to the parents and grand parents who supported and transported this amazing team!
