Year 5/6 Girls Triumph at the Indoor Kwik Cricket Competition

Today, the Tower Hamlets Indoor Kwik-Cricket Competition took place at UEL Sports Dock with VPS Girls Cricket Team feeling hopeful to get a place in the final.  VPS started the group stages against St. Mary and St.Micheals with a first great win. The team went on to play Culloden and Manorfeild winning every match which meant they qualified for the Semi-finals! A particular highlight from the Group stage was winning a whopping 91 runs to the oppositions 19!
For the semi-final we played the excellent Marner team and it was a very close game! However  VPS made it through to the finals due to great batting from Shaheda at the end and superb bowling from Amirah during the game.
For the final we had to face the very skilled St.Mary and St Michael’s. I (Emily) selected a strong squad ready for the challenge, and with spirits high in confidence, Team VPS were determined to win!
And they DID! The last game was an exciting one but with great batting skill, we won!
The team have made the school very proud of this great achievement and hope it continues for the foreseeable future!
Special mentions to -  Adila – 14 outs overall with a mixture of catching and bowling . Jannah and Labibah for their excellent skilful batting as a pair and Amirah for her outstanding bowling.

Thank you to the lovely parent volunteer Shafia who encouraged the girls and kept the coach (me) calm! 

STARS!!
