Cricket Report

On Friday 3rd November, St Joseph's Primary School Year 6 boys and girls cricket teams attended the T20 division cricket in Hamilton.

The girls team won their first game by a few runs and it was a fairly close game. Their second game was lost by a fair bit but they stayed positive and were ready for their next game but sadly they lost that. The girls stayed to watch the boys play, as they had done all their previous games. The girls were a little bit disappointed but they all still had heaps of fun and were glad that they had the opportunity to participate in division cricket.

The boys team played Allansford first. We lost the toss and they chose to bowl. The boys started off pretty good but they knew it was going to be a challenge. In the end of that innings we ended up with 125 runs, then we started bowling. We started off a bit slow but Oscar Stewart took an amazing catch and got everyone pumped up for the rest of the day. We managed to sneak away with the win as we beat them by 34 runs. Throughout the day we managed to keep winning. In the semi’s we were up against Dunkeld who had not lost all day. We managed to bat really well at the start and we made a score of 210. We knew this was a good score and we managed to sneak away with another win. We moved on to the Grand Final against Allansford. We knew we could beat them so we were feeling confident and ready. We batted and bowled very well and we ended up winning and the final score was 167 to 52. Our key players were Noah as our batter, Lachie as our bowler, and Oscar as our keeper. We would like to thank Mark for driving the bus and the parents, teacher and trainee who came and supported us.
