CRICKET

Year 9/10 Cricket v Westfield (Division 1)

Date : Wednesday 21st May 2025

Score : LOST by 5 wickets

Batting :  H. Neal 14

Bowling : S. Christian 4 for 25, H. Neal 1 for 16

Squad : P. Patel, H. Neal, A. Sanga, S. Christian, D. Snowden, M. Jaji, K. Gorsia, S. Mcgrath, R. Rahman. K. Walker, N. Konopka  

Comment : An interesting game where the boys had mixed fortunes with the bat. With the opposition taking two very early wickets and the boys picking out the fielders with less than orthodox shot selection, they then bowled and fielded well to keep the game fairly close. With 20 or 30 more runs, this would have been a very close game. Huge thanks to the two debutants (K. Walker and N. Nonopka) playing their first games of cricket, batting well and not giving up their wickets first ball, unlike some of our openers. 

 

BADMINTON

Earlier on in the year we reported on the progress of Javadali M in Year 7 who represents Hertfordshire at badminton. Recently Javadali competed in the County League Finals and was part of the U13 squad that won bronze – a fantastic achievement and reward for his hard work and practice. Well done ! 

PE kit

It is essential that students have the full correct PE kit for all lessons. This includes shinpads and black /yellow socks when participating in football lessons and also a pair of white sports socks for all other activities. Students will be reminded when activities change. Students not bringing the correct kit will instantly receive consequence points.

Girls should be wearing plain black shorts which are longer than the length of their PE shirt or hoody. Leggings should be black sports leggings and not see through.  Black tracksuit bottoms are also permitted.

ALL jewellery should be removed prior to the start of the lesson, including earrings, and hair should be tied up.
