Rounders SENIOR IX ROUNDERS Despite many matches being rained off this season the competitive spirit of the IX always remained intact. This season saw the girls measure up victorious in matches against Ampleforth, and Pocklington. Their perseverance and enthusiastic approach helped the team win 4 out of their 5 games, only narrowly losing to a very competitive Sedbergh side. The young team thrived for competition this season, and as a whole demonstrated vast technical improvements each week. Communication was clear and precise, as the girls were encouraged to work together to get two batters out in one ball. It was most impressive to observe overall team improvements, particularly with the team’s batting, where all players were able to strike to ball well with real intent.

“The young team thrived for competition this season.” Our top batters, Amelia Blackburn and Maddy Wylie, didn’t fail to disappoint this season, hitting the ball consistently well to score numerous rounders at critical points. Charlotte Calvert also took some great catches at 1st base, linking well with Oenone Hedley in order to outwit their opposition this year. It was a really enjoyable season for all involved. The girls not only reinforced their ability to compete against strong opposition, but also their individual growth as batters and fielders, along with their exemplary teamwork and spirit. M.
