On Thursday 21st
May Chilcote (12 children) entered a mixed pairs cricket tournament. The tournament
took place at Moseley Ashfield Cricket Ground. The tournament was a knockout
competition, with the winners representing the Baverstock Partnership at a
Birmingham wide event.
In the first game the children played
against The Oaks ‘B’. They played really well, despite being very nervous. They
won the match 237 v 182.
In the second match they played
against Yardley Wood ‘A’. The children were starting to find their rhythm and
batted superbly, only dropping 1 wicket. They won the match 260 v 229.
In the semi-final Chilcote played
against Bells Farm. The children lost a few more wickets in this game but
batted even better (on the balls that they hit). They then fielded the best
that they had done in the entire tournament. They won the match 259 v 211.
In the final they played against a
very good Hall Green team. Hall Green batted first and they scored an
impressive 238. Chilcote replied with some great batting and also finished the
match on 238. The final was then decided on a ‘super over’. Unfortunately, Hall
Green won the super over by 2 runs – 8 v 6.
Well done to all of the children who
took part, you did the school proud!
