As the Summer Term (Cricket Quarter) gets underway, Cricket and Athletics are off to a flying start, with both the Girls’ and Boys’ First XI Cricket Teams opening their campaigns with a string of impressive wins.
Cricket
1st XI Girls:
The Girls’ 1st XI have had a strong start to the season, beginning with a preseason win over St John’s by four wickets. India (Year 9) impressed with three wickets, while Hope (Year 11) and Lucy (Year 10) opened with a quickfire 55-run partnership. In the U18 Cup against King Edward’s Witley, both Hope and Lucy scored half-centuries, putting up 165-0 after 20 overs. A tight bowling performance secured a 71-run victory.
1st XI Boys:
The 1st XI have made a remarkable start to the season, winning all four matches against Christ’s College (NZ), Radley, Tonbridge, and Eton to top the Cowdrey Cup table. Standout performances came from Dom (Year 12), Josh (Year 12), Archie (Year 13), and Oli (Year 12) with the bat, and from Luke (Year 13), Ollie (Year 11), and Tom (Year 13) with the ball.
Boys Cricket:
For the first time, we have fielded five senior teams this year, reflecting the continued strength of Cricket at the School.
The U15s made a strong start, beating Cranmore in the Cup with Will (Year 10) hitting 87 not-out.
Notable performances also include Jacob (Year 12), who scored 100 against Tonbridge, Luca (Year 11) with 60, and Harvey (Year 10) with 61, both also against Tonbridge.
Athletics
The season opened with six schools competing at Charterhouse in near-perfect racing conditions. Four school records were broken: Aidan (Year 10) in the IB discus, Camilla (Year 10) in the IG 200m, Tati (Year 11) in the IG 400m, and Lyla (Year 9) in the JG triple jump. Gabby (Year 11) and Kotryna (Year 10) also equalled the IG high jump record.
There were many standout performances: George (Year 12) and Camilla both won the 100m and 200m impressively; Immy (Year 9) won the JG long jump and hurdles; Zach (Year 10) won the IB triple jump; Oscar (Year 10) won the 800m; Tallulah (Year 11) won the SHG 200m; and Hebe (Year 11) won the SG discus.
In the senior boys’ events, Thomas (Year 13) won the 400m, Theo (Year 13) the long jump, Jordan (Year 12) the discus, Lucas (Year 12) the hurdles, and Olly (Year 13) the 200m. The 4x100m relay team also stormed to victory. Both the boys’ and girls’ teams finished third overall in a highly competitive meet.
Over the last week, the senior boys’ and girls’ teams both beat Gordon’s, while the U15 and U16 girls’ teams defeated Prior’s Field.
It has been an excellent start to the Athletics season.
