CRICKET

Cricket has flourished this year, with over 50+ juniors at training on Tuesday evenings and we have seen great progress throughout the Shells and Year 8. Cricket has also enabled us to have a larger number of pupils participating, with most games afternoons accommodating A teams right down to E teams, which has been wonderful.

The Shells had a great day at Nottingham High School’s festival and all the girls played some exceptional cricket, with the U12As competing a year young in the U13 Cup and finishing third. The U12Bs were victorious in the U12A plate, finishing as winners. The U14s have also had a great season so far, winning all their games v Princethorpe, King’s High and King Henry VIII. We are already excited for next season with the arrival of some exceptional Year 6 pupils and the introduction of more girls’ hard ball games.

The seniors are also ensuring a strong finish to their season, with very competitive wins against Wellingborough, Denstone and Wrekin College.

HURRAH for Hannah!

Lower Sixth student Hannah Elliott recently enjoyed an amazing weekend in Utrecht in the Netherlands, competing in the King Bowl International Flag American Football Tournament representing Great Britain women.

Playing as a wide receiver, Hannah helped GB to reach the final where they lost by just a single point to the USA.
