On Thursday 12th July, a team of 7 Turves Green Boys’ pupils visited Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School for their first cricket fixture. Our pupils have been working hard in the nets and were keen to test themselves in a competitive cricket fixture against our local Matrix school, Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School. The Turves Green Boys batted first and posted a very respectable 95/6 off their 10 overs, special mention to our last minute call ups Khizar K. and Fayed Q. who put on a 36 run last wicket partnership.
On the whole, our boys bowled well with special mention to our openers Mikey W. and Azan W., who’s pace and accuracy caused an array of problems of the DEC batsmen. It was a close match but DEC eventually ran out winners, reaching their total 96/2 with 6 balls to spare. It was clear their experience in the indoor format and excellent communication when running between the wickets made the difference. The boys thoroughly enjoyed the game and I have no doubt will go from strength to strength in their respective cricket leagues next year!
