Year 6 Cricket Tournament

On Tuesday 24th May eight year 6 children and two year 5 children represented the school in a cricket tournament held at Moseley Ashfield Cricket Ground. There were a total of five teams in the tournament.

Chilcote started off with a game against Yardley Wood B. Chilcote bowled first and restricted Yardley Wood to 171 runs. Then, Chilcote batted and really settled into their rhythm and scored an impressive 280 runs including numerous 6's.

Next, Chilcote played against Bells Farm School. Chilcote batted first in this game and scored a total of 237 runs giving away a few sloppy wickets. However, they more than made up for it with their bowling and fielding which was tremendous. They kept Bells Farm's score down to 194.

Finally, in the final Chilcote played against Yardley Wood A and bowled/fielded first. They were incredible and managed to keep Yardley Wood's score down to 185. Chilcote then batted and were on 210 runs when the game had to be abandoned. Chilcote were on their way to victory and thus won the tournament.

Well done to all those involved as they represented the school really well!
