U15 Girls' Cricket Team Reach Last 16 Of National 100 Ball Cup
20 Jun
Huge congratulations to our U15 Girls' Cricket Squad, who had an impressive run to the last 16 of the National 100 Ball Cup - a superb achievement and a true testament to the team's talent, commitment and unshakeable team spirit.
Their journey was nothing short of inspiring. As the squad progressed through the tournament, they faced King’s High School, a strong opponent with a solid reputation. Despite the challenge, our girls rose to the occasion, playing with confidence and control to secure a comfortable and well-earned victory, progressing confidently to the next stage.
Into the last 16 of the competition they went where the girls were drawn against Rugby School, another formidable cricketing side. The original match date was unfortunately interrupted by rain, but not before our team made a powerful opening that clearly unsettled the opposition. The momentum was with Princethorpe, and anticipation built as the fixture was rescheduled.
When match day finally arrived, the U15 squad stepped out onto the pitch with energy, determination and pride. Despite playing with heart and grit, embodying the values of teamwork and perseverance that have defined their cup run so far, it wasn't to be.
Regardless of the outcome, reaching the final 16 of a national competition is an extraordinary accomplishment and one the school and wider community can be proud of. These pupils not only demonstrated excellent cricketing ability but also showed what can be achieved through hard work, unity and a passion for the game.
The U15 coach, Ellie Callan, said, "Well done to every player - you’ve made your mark on the national stage and inspired future generations of cricketers at the school."
