Non-Stop Cricket Festival
Non-Stop Cricket Inter School Competition
Gloucestershire Cricket Board Non-Stop Cricket Festival - Tuesday, 26th February 2019
Ten children from Years 4 and 5 visited Leisure@ in Cheltenham to participate in a Gloucestershire Cricket Board Non-Stop Cricket Festival, supported by the charity Move More. The competition involved playing a variety of games against different schools with each team completing one innings each. The team that amassed the most runs won each game. The schools competed in different groups and then later in the afternoon teams were there was a progression to the semi-finals and eventually the final.
Tirlebrook performed extremely well, winning three out of their five matches, against Bishop's Cleeve, St John's and Oakwood. Their two defeats came against Springbank Academy and Rowanfield.
Our team were extremely excited to receive a School Games values wristband each for their attitude and effort. Lily and Byran were awarded 'Determination', Isabelle, Ayan, Bobby, Edward B and Edward F were awarded 'Teamwork', Lola received 'Respect', Alex achieved a 'Passion' band and Scarlet walked away from the event with not one but TWO School Games bands, one for 'Determination' and one for 'Teamwork'. What a fantastic achievement!
At the end of the day, the children returned to school extremely excited and proud. They had enjoyed a fantastic day, filled with exciting games, matches, awards, teamwork and fun. Thank you to all of the organisers, children and staff who attended. Mrs Gosden and Mrs Assheton attended the event with the team and supported the children throughout. Thank you.
