U9 Green Team vs Eversfield

It was an exciting and close game for the Year 4 B team on Tuesday. They won 247-245 after showing both strong batting and fielding. The boys worked well as a team and gave each other encouragement and good communication throughout. We started as the batting team and with some excellent striking action, the B team were able to get balls to the boundary seven times; with Peveer and Adam hitting two 6s! The team brought this momentum into the fielding, impressing us with each of their bowls and preventing any ball reaching the boundary. Adesh and Niccolo kept the team in the game by catching the ball from two of the batsmen, reducing Wolverhampton Grammar’s total runs. Overall, it was a fun and respectful game with both teams seemingly enjoying the cricket: it was a lovely fixture.
