SPORTS NEWS
Cricket Gala Day
"On Thursday the 12 October 2023, the Year 6 boys participated in the Cricket Gala Day at Thomas Dalton Park. The weather was challenging but we managed to push through the scorching weather without too much exhaustion! We all loved hitting absolute bombs out of the boundary. It was so much fun, even for the people who had never played before. Out of the eleven players, only 2 had been involved with a cricket competition outside of school. Matthew invented a new batting style, the one-handed bat! It was very effective! One of the outstanding aspects of the day was the team's great sportsmanship. We showed this by supporting our players and the other teams. A big thank you to Mrs Roche and Mrs Eckermann for taking care of us and getting us ice cream for all our hard work. It was delicious. I think we all had fun cheering from the sidelines, we were definitely the loudest team their! We all had a blast and this was a great way to finish our primary school gala days".
