Talented young cricketers knocked their competition for six to make it through to the semi-finals of a tournament.
Members of the Year 8 cricket team played against Sandwell Academy in the quarter finals of the Staffordshire U13 competition.
The squad of players were selected for their attendance record at morning cricket net sessions which took place before the first Covid lockdown.
PE teacher, Mr C Moody, said: “We won the toss and put Sandwell Academy into bat. We were only playing 12 overs per innings and we restricted them to 53 for 5 with a star performance from James Mckenzie who took three wickets in one over. The star batsmen for Sandwell was removed by Luca Raina and his spin bowling. This then put a complete stop to the scoring in their innings.
“In our innings, Luca Raina and Aarush Chandla went in as an opening pair. Luca scored 29, Aarush 16 and we reached 54.”
The school will play the semi-final against one of two schools from Stoke after half term.
