Mrs Sarah Pattinson School Secretary SPORT Match Results Brilliant sunshine allowed the rounders teams to play their first matches of the season against Bronte House. Our U10’s were always in the lead and produced a convincing 14-6½ win. The U11’s match was much closer and despite being down after the first innings managed to produce some excellent fielding in the second innings and win 18-17½. Our U11 cricketers also played Bronte House and started the game with some excellent fielding and Bronte only managed to score 64, unfortunately our batting did not match our fielding and we only scored 51. This was a good effort from the team and we will improve our batting before the next match! Next Weeks Matches Our U11, U10 and U9 rounders teams will play Leeds Girls at home on Tuesday 13 May starting at 3.40pm. Players may be collected at 4.45pm from the pavilion.
