Sports Roundup – Friday 17 May

The U11B team played in an exciting game against RGS The Grange on a wonderfully sunny Wednesday afternoon this week. We started with fielding. Our girls played really well as a team together and managed to prevent RGS from scoring too many runs. There were few no balls and wides from the girls meaning they gave away very little to the opposition. We took 4 wickets in total with 2 excellent balls bowled from Anya and Dhiya respectively, and quick fielding work again from the same 2 girls, allowing Avni and Lamiya to make runouts. Levizah demonstrated excellent understanding of the game and backed up many balls which would have otherwise been lost to the field. Our 4 wickets meant we started the second innings on 20 runs. There was some excellent movement and teamwork from the girls. Some of us are still a little worried about making runs and potentially getting out but overall, it was good play. Hayat hit a boundary and her and Sahiba made an excellent pair in achieving singles. Ellen made some great hits and communicated loudly and clearly with her partner whether to run or stay. After all the runs had been tallied, Hallfield won by only 2 runs in total, 66-64. It was a wonderful demonstration of skills from all, but Dhiya was voted bowler of the game and Hayat as fielder. Well done girls!
