Our Year 5 and 6 cricket teams visited Cothill on Saturday for their final match of the season.
U11As
An unbroken opening partnership of 138 runs saw the Under 11 As post an impressive first innings score in their allotted 20 overs. Josh and Paddy both scored their half-centuries to the applause of the spectators. Two wickets from Zayyan, four runs outs and a stumping limited Cothill to a score of 58 all out. This was an almost faultless performance from the Under 11 As.
APS 138 for 0 (Josh 56 NO & Paddy 64 NO)
Cothill 58 all out (Zayaan 2 for 10)
Won by 80 runs
U11Bs
The Under 11 Bs played a pairs format and scored an impressive 163 runs (some of which were off the bat!). Charlie was particularly majestic. The bowling was tight, limiting the extras for Cothill. Noah also did a great job behind the stumps. Not only was their performance on the field of a high level, their conduct off the pitch was magnificent.

Alex and the two Georges forged two very healthy partnerships at the beginning of the match, while Vihaan kept the scoreboard ticking over in the last few overs.
