Dr Loader and Mr Burrows took 24 cricketers from Years 5 and 6 to a tournament at Shiplake College on Friday 7th June.

The tournament was played against 11 other local primary school teams and took place on the beautiful main field at Shiplake, in front of the grand school buildings and under the watchful eye of Chris Ellison (ECB Level 4 Coach and Director of Cricket at the school).

Our three teams, named (by Shiplake) The Swans, The Supers and the Swords, acquitted themselves well, and although there were not placings or prizes, each participant received a certificate and a medal.

As always, it was a pleasure to take them and great to see their cricket developing nicely.  We have some very good players and generally an excellent squad to choose from.

Many thanks to all the players, to Mr Burrows and Dr Loader for their cricketing skills, and to Mr Coates, Mrs Monaghan and the Shiplake minibus for transportation.  Thanks also to the parents who came to support their children.

The players we took from Y5 and Y6 were:  Louie B, Teddy C, Sylvie F, Georgie Q, Mason M, Toby T, Adam B, Levi B, Donnie F, Freddie P, Azor S, Oscar S, Jack G, Sam H, Ronny B, Joe S, Max L, George B, Leo N, Zac N, Oli R, Arthur S, Theo T and Jake W.
