On Friday 9th May, a group of Year 5 children (including one Year 4 player) attending the London South ISA Cricket competition, held by Rosemead School in Dulwich. It was a day of glorious sunshine and the perfect day for some cricket!
In a competitive tournament with 9 other schools in attendance, our Oakhyrst Grange team really put up a good fight. For some children, this was their first experience of a cricket competition.
Placed in a group of 5 schools, we battled in our in 4 really close matches against Heath House, Whitehorse, Weston Green and Rosemead.
Results didn’t go in our favour however every game we improved as a team and performed really well when batting, bowling, and fielding. Two highlights of the day were 3 of our children (Bonnie, Sofia & Caiden) hitting a 6! As well as Rhian taking a wicket as the youngest member of the side.
It was a great afternoon and the children came away from it buzzing for me.
