U13 Cricket - Chance to Compete regional final
03.07.25
WON: Regional champions
The U13 Cricket team took part in the Chance to Compete regional final on Thursday 3rd July. We travelled across London to Sidcup Cricket Club, which was a lovely venue for this tournament. There were six teams from across the region who had qualified to take part in the region final and for our team to be named champions we needed to win as many matches as possible. We got off to a good start beating Esher CofE High School by a score of 73 runs to 52, which was followed by an outstanding batting display against Kingsdale Foundation school with a winning score of 105 runs to 63. Runs scored got even better in the third match, beating Acland Burghley School 131 runs to 61. Our fourth match after lunch was slightly closer as Sir Roger Manwood’s High School proved to be a stronger opposition, however the team still managed a win, with a score of 93 runs to 57. The team entered into our final game unbeaten but our opposition was Bexley Grammar School who had only lost one game so far. We were put into bat and held to a score of 52 runs, however the team knew that taking wickets would add to the runs tally. With one over to go Waldegrave had taken four wickets so were now up to a score of 72. This left Bexley needing 8 runs to win. In the end after some great fielding it came down to the last ball, where our opponent needed to a score of six to win and unfortunately that’s exactly what they got!
The team was disappointed to lose this match but taking all the other scores into account we were up against Bexley in a rematch for the final. This time Waldegrave fielded first, showing some excellent bowling and fielding throughout the team; they held Bexley to a score of 42 runs. The team were very confident that they could achieve this score in their turn to bat and did exactly that, winning by a final score of 81 runs to 52. This meant that Waldegrave finished as winners in their final match of the day and were crowned regional champions! Well done to everyone who took part in this match and in all our sporting activities over the school year!
