Reginald Mitchell Girls Cricket Team!
By The Asda Kwik Cricket teamThe team consists of Rebecca Stanyer, Millie Wilson, Anna Cornes, Savannah Miller, Joedie Meadowcroft, Loren Rigby, Katie Reece, Keeley Quinn and Kimberley Holloway.
The girls have done so well so far, winning 15 of their 16 matches! Rebecca Stanyer deserves a special mention because in one of her two overs. she hit a huge 7 sixes and 2 fours!!!
Katie Reece took an amazing catch as well, taking the ball as she tripped on a different ball from another pitch at the same time! And Anna Cornes superstitiously bowls from her school cap as she thinks it brings her good luck!
Well, from what we have heard, Reginald Mitchell Girls team sound like a very talented team and a school to look out for as the finals loom!
James Oglethorpe Primary School's Road to the Final!
By The Asda Kwik Cricket team
The team, consisting of Annie Maguire, Phoebe Menear, Charlotte Welch, Caitlin Hewson, Alice Martin, Nicole Boran, Rhiannan Goulden and Ellie Brewster are under the watchful eye of their coach Mark Menear, and they have been training hard towards the final.
They were even lucky enough to have Nick Knight, former professional Cricketer and England's opening batsman to train them on July 7th. The girls learnt an extraordinary large amount and had a fabulous time!
A particular mention should go to the girls' 2nd group match where they were left to bat out the remaining runs. The match went down to the very last ball, until Phoebe Menear, partnered with Annie Maguire, smashed the ball for 4 to win the match!
In the regional finals the girls won convincing matches in which they won most of them by at least 40 runs! What great batting!
In the final of the Regionals they played Wheatfields Primary and pushed out a narrow victory - winnning by 15 runs.
Good luck next week in the National Finals girls!!!

Ian Harvey excelled in all aspects of the game, and had a knack for making things happen at the right moments of a match. He also happens to be current Sky Sports Commentator, so the children were definitely lucky to have such an knowledgeable and experienced player for themselves!
He directly coached the boys and gave them some final pointers which should very much help them, with the tournament being only days away!
