Dorset Year 6 Girls Kwik Cricket County Runners Up
I am delighted to announce that our Year 6 girls attended the County Kwik Cricket Finals at Bryanston School, where we competed against the eleven other qualified teams and finished in a fantastic second place. We won our first match convincingly where we batted confidently and bowled and fielded with strict accuracy. We lost a tight match against Christchurch Junior but qualified for the quarter finals. Before this match we had the pleasure to meet and train with a Southern Viper player, Izzy Collis and this set us up for the quarter final match.  In this match we played Allenbourn and we avenged our defeat from last week by winning convincingly. We had a tight match against St Josephs and won by three runs and placed us in the final against Christchurch Junior. Unfortunately this was one match too far but when I told the girls of their achievement they were bowled over and extremely excited. It was commented to me that our girls looked like they had the most fun during the day and that was ever so pleasing. Maddy, Erin, Emelia, Maisie, Kayla, Ellie, Nathi and both Charlottes should be thoroughly proud of their achievement, especially as over one hundred schools entered the competition. Finally I would like to offer a massive thank you to Jono Colegate from Dorset Cricket for coaching the girls every Thursday this year.
