Activities started on Monday with the first round of the Great Grange Bake Off. By Wednesday, the champions were crowned as Priory turned out the best jam tarts I have ever tasted.
On Tuesday, in the first test match of the 2012 season a packed crowd witnessed a truly memorable game of test cricket played in the best tradition of this wonderful game of ours!
In reply, after a very exciting final couple of overs, Priory came out winners by the small margin of 12 runs. Tahsin Chowdhury (9 MCB) top scored with 14 runs including two massive sixes and was subsequently named man of the match. Both teams conducted themselves impeccably and, apart from Mr Washbrook‟s final warning about his conduct, it was a most enjoyable evening. There was also a dodgeball competition on the go with staff against pupils. The Staff Team consisted of Messrs Hutton, Downey, Talbot, Washbrook, Warburton, Higgins and Miss Ellis. It was a close competition and once Mr Hutton got his head around the rules the staff were in with a chance. Mr Higgins unfortunately spent most of his time on the floor and Mr Talbot demonstrated why he is better off sticking with Science with his „girly‟ throw! Mr Washbrook was a great human shield for the rest of the staff team but he didn‟t manage to block the corker of a shot from Ryan Potter that got Mr Downey on the side of his head leaving him with a slight ringing sound and a bright red ear! Winning pupil team: Jordan Maddock, Bradley Phillips, Ryan Hanon, Mark Birkenhead, James Dean, Kalan Bird and Jamie Weeder
Priory won the toss and elected to field first and, after an excellent start, Bridgewater scored a very respectable 74 runs.
Michael Helps and Connor Lindsay (8 PAR) were the star performers scoring 34 runs in their 2 overs. April 2012 Issue The Monthly Newsletter for Parents and Carers from the Head of School, Mr B. Carney
