Rounders U13 We had a unbeaten season, despite some interesting weather!
St Martin’s Ampleforth, all our practising paid off and we recorded a convincing 16-6 victory. The next match against St Olave’s was very enjoyable and exciting. Pocklington just managed to win by ½ a rounder, 14½-14.
We were lucky to have a strong talented team, with outstanding batting and performances from Emma Farnsworth and Sophie Sweeting. We excelled in our fielding, especially our catching, and the spirit of the team was great because we worked together to make sure that we got the best out of everyone.
Hill House were our next opponents, a few fielding errors from us allowed Hill House to record 14 rounders to our 9½ . However, we were back to winning ways in our final match against Bootham, who fielded a mixed U13/12 side. Excellent hitting by Hebe Quinney ensured that Pocklington took the victory 18-9.
There were especially strong performances from India Esa, Sophie Sweeting, Emma Farnsworth, Izzy Nicholson and Ellie Summers. Thank you Miss Gray for being a great coach and for inspiring us to achieve the best in all our games!
Overall, I would say we had a good season. Harriet Streicher and Grace Atkinson bowled accurately, back stop Hebe Quinney played a dominant role directing the fielders, while post players Ini Risso-Gill, Ruby Stainforth, Hannah East, Katie Williams and Emelia Couttie all worked well together and put many of our opponents out. Deep fielders Tilly Rennison, Francis Beedham, Evie Hirst and Bella Byass combined well together and delivered some excellent throws.
U12A P4/W3/L1 Captain Bella Byass (1DOL) sees practice make perfect in a challenging season. It was disappointing to miss out on our first two matches due to poor weather, but in our first game against
Thank you to all the girls who have regularly attended practices and to our coach Mrs Danby for making the season so enjoyable. It can’t have been easy choosing the teams!
