On Tuesday 4th June, a team of eight enthusiastic cricketers (Lydia, Ted, George, Archie, Lizzie, Oscar B, Bella and Oliver) took part in the Dynamos Cricket Tournament at Hartismere. The tournament had been hastily rearranged due to a waterlogged pitch at its traditional home at Mellis Cricket Club. The team performed very well, especially considering they hadn’t played cricket for a long time in our PE lessons. They made very good progress over the course of the tournament and had some very close games. We were especially impressed by Lizzie’s determination and focus, and Archie’s communication – he is excellent at encouraging his teammates and organising them to maximise their chances. He also scored an incredible ten runs in the last match by sweeping the ball into one of the goals. We finished fifth in our group of five, but had a really good afternoon of cricket and played with a good, sporting spirit. Well done all!
