On Wednesday 28th June ten children from Year 5 represented Chilcote at a mixed cricket tournament. The tournament took place at Moseley Ashfield Cricket Ground.
The children were put into a league with two other teams. Their first game was against Grendon. Grendon scored a total off 217 runs (each school starts on 200 but loses 5 runs for each wicket lost). Chilcote then batted and scored an impressive 277.
In their second game the children played against Allens Croft School. Allens Croft batted first and finished on 199 runs. Chilcote fielded and bowled brilliantly. Then, Chilcote batted and scored a great total of 323.
This meant that Chilcote qualified for the final. However, before they played they game they had a friendly against Yardley Wood B. Yardley Wood B posted 212 runs and Chilcote replied with 276 runs. The children really did play well and performed some great running between the wickets.
In the final Chilcote played against Yardley Wood A. Yardley Wood opted to bat first and did well. They got a good score of 230 runs. Chilcote needed to bat well to beat that total. Josh opened and did incredibly scoring 5 sixes in his two overs at the crease. This put Chilcote in a commanding position. However, a few sloppy wickets brought the game back close. It was a nervy finish to the match but in the end Chilcote finished with 254 runs and won the tournament.
Well done to all of the children involved in this event, another fantastic performance by the children of Chilcote!!!
