On Friday 12th July 2019 ten children from Year 5 and nine children from Year 6 represented the school in a Year 5 Kwik Cricket competition and a Year 6 mixed handball competition.
Both of these competitions were part of the Birmingham School Summer Games and the teams qualified courtesy of winning their local partnership events.
The cricketers played four group games. They won three of those games quite comfortably and only conceded fourteen runs. The fielding and bowling was simply superb. The other game was an incredible match between two very good schools. Chilcote unfortunately lost the game by one run (209-210)! The school they played went on to win the whole competition so shows how close Chilcote came.
The handballers played five group games and despite having a slow start in terms of their performance won all five games and qualified for the semi finals of the competition.
The cricketers finished second in their group and played the school who finished second in the other group in the third and fourth place play-off. Chilcote bowled first and redtricted the other team to a score of 198 (they started on 200). Chilcote just needed to be sensible in their batting and not throw their wickets away. This is exactly what they did, Batting a very mature and risk free innings to score a total of 236 runs. Therefore they finished in third place in the whole of Birmingham - a wonderful achievement!
The handballers had a tough semi-final match but took the lead early on and despite the other team keeping close to them they managed to always keep the lead in the scoring. They made it slightly more comfortable towards the end and ended up winning by 5 goals to 3. Thus they qualified for the final. They had a very tough match against an unbeaten opponent in the final and unfortunately for Chilcote it was just a step too far. They lot the game 4v1 but gave everything. Still they finished as the second best school in Birmingham for handball which is a remarkable achievement!!!
Well done to all of the children involved who, as always represented the school superbly well and gave everything to the Chilcote cause!!!

Year 6 Kwik Cricket County Finals 2016
On Friday 1st July ten children from Chilcote represented the school in a County Cricket Final held at The Edgbaston Foundation ground. They qualified for this after winning the local area competition.
The tournament was split into two groups. Everybody played each other once. Then, the team that finished first in each group would play each other in the final and the other teams would play the team who finished in the same position as them in each group.
Chilcote started by playing against St Bernard's school. They batted first and gave away some sloppy wickets to finish on 225. St Bernard's replied with 251, so won the game.
Next, Chilcote played against Park Hill School and again batted first. This time they cut out the mistakes and scored an impressive 256. Park Hill replied with 240, which meant that Chilcote had won.
After that, Chilcote played against Little Sutton, who had won their previous two games. Chilcote put in the performance of their lives and batted superbly to get to a total of 247. They then bowled brilliantly and kept Little Sutton's score to 238.
This meant that Chilcote needed to win against St Bernard's (a repeated fixture due to their being one less team in the group). Yet again Chilcote batted sloppily and gave away 6 wickets. They closed on 221. However, unlike in the first game they bowled amazingly well and took 8 wickets off St Bernard's meaning they only scored 211. Another Chilcote win.
This meant that Chilcote had won 3 and lost 1 the same as Little Sutton. So, the officials looked at the total number of wickets taken in the group stage. Chilcote had taken 21 wickets and Little Sutton had taken 23. This meant the boys finished in 2nd in the group.
Finally, Chilcote played in the 3rd and 4th place play-off. They played against Four Oaks school. They bowled first and kept the Four Oaks score to 224. Chilcote replied with an impressive 259, meaning they finished in third place in the tournament.
Little Sutton went on to win the tournament and the Chilcote team were left thinking about what might have been. . .
Well done to all of the boys involved a third place finish in this high caliber event is very impressive! A great performance by all!!!
