Last week, Fishergate teams from Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 attended the York Partnership cricket festival at Dunnington CC. The teams were chosen from players who have attended cricket club with Mr Kelly throughout the Summer Term, with the winners of the tournament going through the represent York in the North Yorkshire Youth Games.

Teams played 3 matches in the group stage, with the winners of each league playing one another in the final. The pupils enjoyed a fantastic day in the sunshine, and displayed some excellent batting skills. Both teams won one, and lost two matches and so unfortunately did not qualify for the finals, however the improvement in their skills has been fantastic to see and was a credit to Mr Kelly’s hard work with them.

The tournament was eventually won by a very strong Dunnington team, who will now progress to the Youth Games. Any children wishing to join the school cricket club should contact Mr Kelly. The club runs on a Monday night from 3.15-4.15.
