Year 5 Mixed Cricket Tournament

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!
