Cricket Highlights

On Thursday 15th June, ten Lower 5 pupils played in the Cricket Scotland S3 Girls’ Tournament in Perth. The team started with a tough game against a strong Cargilfield team which they lost. However, the girls bounced back impressively to beat MES and Perth Grammar. A semi-final against Glasgow Academy came next and the girls played a great cricket match to win by 20 runs, with important late wickets taken by Issy and Ella.

The day finished with a repeat of the first game, a re-match with Cargilfield in the final. The team showed their progress throughout the day in all areas but were beaten by 17 runs by a very good team. Despite Mairi’s excellent batting and superb wicketkeeping from Becky, the girls left the tournament with the silver medals. Well done to the whole team on their performances!

Team: Samanthi, Florence, Issy, Ayza, Becky, Mairi, Bella, Ella, Sofia, Hannah

On Wednesday 14th June, six Primary 6 girls competed in the Cricket Scotland Primary Girls’ Tournament in Perth. The team played with great determination and skill, resulting in a well-deserved cup victory. The girls demonstrated accurate and consistent bowling that kept the opposition on their toes. The fielding was exceptional, with some great catches and quick reflexes that saved runs and put pressure on the opposition. The batting was equally as impressive with a solid performance that ensured that we reached the target with ease. It was a fantastic team effort with every player contributing to winning the tournament. We are proud of the achievement and look forward to more success in the future.
