Year 7 & 8 Borough Rounder’s Rally

14 Jun Year 7 & 8 Borough Rounder’s Rally

The Year 7 rounder’s team had a successful run in the pool stage of the competition beating Warren, Sydney Russell and Dagenham Park to make it through to the semi-finals.  They narrowly lost to 1 rounder which meant we went through to the 3^rd/4^th playoff.  The girls played really well together considering the lack of match practice they have had due to recent poor weather.  We eventually lost out on a medal in the 3^rd/4^th playoff to Eastbury, however the girls demonstrated excellent sportsmanship and resilience throughout the tournament.

The Year 8 team had a strong start beating a well drilled All Saints team 5 to 4 ½ rounders.  We then played Sydney Russell who batted well against us and scored 6 rounder’s to our 1. Finally, we played Robert Clack whose fielding skills were excellent and they prevented us from scoring off some great hits.  We made a number of errors when fielding against them and this resulted in JRCS being knocked out of the pool stage.

Both teams have a number of league fixtures still to come this season and we hope the weather improves so training can go ahead on Tuesdays.

Well done to all the girls involved
