Maia had a few great bowls, as well as William S. I think we played very well, but could work on our bowling a bit, but overall well done. Dakota

Dakota U10/11D Mixed v Radnor House: Our cricket match against Radnor House was really exciting. We worked well as a team and did some great batting. We improved our bowling skills and Mr Falconer helped us to bowl correctly using the star or run approach, which involved keeping lovely straight arms.
Everybody did really well at batting and fielding and improved their skills during the game. Kamran scored quite a few runs and was named player of the match. I really loved being captain of my great team and we only lost by six runs. Isabelle

We played really well as a team. We could improve on getting our arm to touch our ear when bowling, however we did a really good job focusing on the ball when batting and we hit some great shots. 
I think that Henry and Louis were our stand-out performers, with Louis getting the only wicket and Henry hitting two 4s. Everyone played really well. Great result with the score being 281 - 268 to Russell House. Kit
