ECB U13 Indoor County Champions

The U13 girls represented the School in the Indoor Cricket County Final earlier this month, where they were up against Reigate Grammar School, Gordon’s and Prior’s Field in a round-robin format.

They started the day playing at full throttle and never took their foot off the pedal. A convincing 40-run victory over Reigate set the tone before a second comfortable win against Prior’s Field. One final dominant performance against Gordon’s saw them post the highest score in the tournament so far – 126 in just 8 overs. Throughout the day, each player showed their skills and incredible passion for competition, making significant contributions to each win.

Huge congratulations to the whole team who are now preparing for the regional finals in April.

Some of the girls told us what being part of the team meant to them:

“I really enjoyed fielding and bowling and to see Jo and everyone else bowl very well made me very excited for the season ahead.”

Izzy

“In the first match we were a bit nervous as our wickets had fallen quickly; however, after a tight bowling performance, we won.”

Sonali

“The indoor cricket final was a great opportunity to have some practice before outdoor cricket begins. I am so proud of our team!”

Connie

“In our last match, when our hopes were to make it to the next round, our batting and bowling performances were outstanding as many people retired and kept the opposition at a low score by continuously taking wickets.”

Hannah

“It was such a great team effort and all the training we put in paid off.”

Olivia

“The thing that stood out to me was our bowling. Ellie got someone out for a diamond duck, the first ball of the game, before getting another two in her next match. Izzy then got three wickets with her amazing spin bowling.”
