On Tuesday morning, 13 of our amazing Year 7 & 8 girls headed over to Moddershall Cricket Club for the U13 Girls Summer Cricket Tournament!
The sun was shining (despite a little chill in the air!), and the girls got stuck straight into practicing their bowling and batting skills before the matches kicked off. ☀️💨
Seven schools took part in the tournament, and our girls started strong—winning their very first game by a margin of runs! 🏆
Not even a change in the weather could slow them down. When the drizzle turned to rain, the girls showed incredible resilience, motivation, and true commitment to their team. Nothing stops this squad! 💪🌧️
We are incredibly proud of how they represented us—you are all heroes! ❤️👏
