Rounders Results - Summer 2009

U13 rounders v Durham Choristers

On the 11^th May the U13 rounders team played Durham Choristers at home. We were put into bat. We started off well with everyone making a good effort. We did well hitting the ball cleanly. We ended our innings getting twelve and a half rounders. We went into field; we fielded well and got some good catches. We kept their score down and at the end of the first innings they scored four and a half rounders. We enforced the follow-on, so they went back into bat. They were better in this half, but we still fielded well only letting them get five rounders. This meant that we had won with an innings to spare. We went in to bat for fun and then had team tea. We would like to thank Mrs Debil for coaching us, the spectators for supporting us, the helpers for helping and the kitchen ladies for lovely team tea.

Terrington Hall Rounders Tournament

On the 20^th May the U.13 rounders team went to Terrington to take part in their annual rounders tournament. There were seven schools competing. In our group were Bramcote, Scarborough College and Queen Margaret's. In each game we lost the toss and were put into bat first. We played Bramcote first and scored well and fast. We scored nine and a half. Our fielding was slick and our throws were accurate and we got all nine of their players out. This means we had won fourteen to six. We then went on to play Scarborough College; we kept up the good performance and won fourteen and a half to three and a half. We played Queen Margaret's and their fielding was good and they stopped us from scoring easily. We fielded well though and stopped the score and fielded the ball in and the final score was seven all. This meant we had qualified for the semi-final against Terrington. We hit the ball well but they were good and stopped us scoring but we picked up the pace. We fielded well in the rainy conditions and got the ball to the posts. We won this match nine and a half to three and a half. We went inside because of the bad weather and the teachers discussed what we were going to do. We had qualified for the final against Bramcote again but the weather had prevented this match from happening. The teacher of Bramcote was happy to say that we had won because we had already beaten them in the group matches. This meant we had won the tournament. We were pleased with this result and got some good catches, fielded well and got some good scores through out the tournament. We would like to thank Mrs Debil for coaching us and for driving us there and back, Miss Morrissey for coming with us, the spectators for supporting us and the kitchen ladies for a lovely packed lunch and for preparing a snack meal for when we got back.
