Year 7&8 County Cricket Finals – County Runners Up
In our 8 aside competition we played against Sturminster Newton, St Peters and Budmouth in this exciting 7 over match. We convincingly beat Budmouth and Joe and Will were in fine batting form. We lost against a strong Sturminster Newton side and unfortunately could not repeat our batting form but Connor retired on 20 and in the field Barney was reliable as ever in wicketkeeper and Kristian produced a super catch. In our final match we played St Peters for the silver medal and we won in the final over. Joe was lethal with his bat and Will, Nathan and Keagan all provided reliable support in the field. Finally Will produced a superb final over to take two stunning wickets. The lads all were a credit and I am proud of their achievement of finishing in second place.

Year 5 Dorset Kwik Cricket County Finals
We represented East Dorset in the county finals at Wimborne Cricket Club. We had two very tough matches in the morning where we narrowly lost. This meant that we went into the group of four to play off for 9th-12th Place. I am pleased to announce that we won all three of these matches convincingly to finish in 9th Place. This is a super achievement and 9th out of over 80 schools that entered is a fantastic result, especially in extremely hot conditions. Well played pupils!
