Year 8 Cricket

The Year 8 boys’ cricket team played against Park House School in their second West Berkshire league fixture. St Bart’s were going into the game feeling confident after a good performance against Trinity School in the opening match last week.

St Bart’s won the toss and opted to field first. Park House then scored 84 runs from their 75 balls with St Bart’s taking 4 wickets. This was a good run total against a strong St Bart’s bowling outfit, so St Bart’s had a lot of work to do. Going into the final over, St Bart’s needed three runs to win. With a brilliant over bowled by the Park House captain, St Bart’s only managed to score one run, meaning that Park House had won the match by one run. Well done to all students who were involved in a highly competitive match. Players of the match were awarded to Joe L for his brilliant bowling and Jude for his confident batting against some strong bowlers.
