Boys u13 South Ribble cricket competition

Report by Team Coach, Mr Kenrick.

It was with great anticipation that the boys Under 13s cricket team set off for their first cricket tournament, located at the indoor tennis centre at Bamber Bridge. Spirits were high on the minibus!

Our competition for the day was from Hutton (the team to beat!), Balshaws, All Hallows, Leyland St Mary's and Lostock Hall. 

The opposing batsmen had a difficult time facing the fast swing bowling from Adam B, whilst Captain Ben M provided trickery with his accurate middle pace. Alex E and Jake S provided quality death bowling towards the end of the oppositions innings.

Priory displayed some excellent batting with Adam B, Alex E and Stephen P-N swinging like professionals in order to increase our run rate; whilst Jake S played a number of solid innings like a proper test batsman. 

Other notable performances included great late batting from Harry R, Jamie C (Wicketkeeper) and Theo C. 

In the field Theo C was so competitive - demanding players get into the correct fielding positions! Joe T provided quality bowling and batting support throughout.

All of the boys had a great day out - not only are we planning our next few training sessions but also a trip to Old Trafford to watch Lancashire Lightning. 

Well done to all boys involved!

Team: Adam B, Ben M, Alex E, Jake S, Stephen P-N, Harry R, Jamie C, Theo C, Joe T. 

If you are in Year 7 or 8 and would like to take part, come down to training - Thursdays after school from 3.10pm - 4.30pm in the Sports Hall.
