The Chronicle

Junior 3 and Junior 4 had an exciting afternoon of rounders and cricket yesterday when they took part in mixed matches against Crescent School. For a number this was their first opportunity to play a fixture, so there was plenty of coaching and support and the children were all encouraged to have a go. We had a lovely afternoon and everyone had lots of fun.

More details can be read in the match reports included separately but do have a look at the photos in the gallery here.

Well done everyone!

Rounders:

The U8 girls have made their first move in their rounders competitive careers over the last two weeks at school. Just before half term, the A team had their first ever match against Bilton Grange. This is always a tough challenge, but the girls faced the challenge head-on. They faced the Bilton Grange U8 team first in a coaching game. Showing a real aptitude for the game, the girls managed to win by 6 rounders to 2 ½.  In the second game, the Crackley girls faced the tougher U9B team… Learning and adapting with each ball, the girls also won this game by 6 rounders to 5!

Player of the match was Elsie A.

This Thursday, we faced Crescent School. This time, all girls had the opportunity to play. Our B team started their campaign, batting extremely well to win by 4 rounders to 2 ½ .

Players of the match were Sienna and Beatrice.

Our A team then took to the pitch and used the skills they had learnt from their previous match to field and bat with accuracy and confidence. They won by 6 ½ to 3.

Player of the match was Elsie A.

What a fantastic way to end the summer term of fixtures for the U8 girls!
