12.6.2014 School Partnership Rounders Tournament

On Thursday 12th June, the Year 6 Rounders' Team headed off to South Dartmoor Community School for a tournament.  Having only had a very limited amount of practise, we were a bit nervous at the start. As we warmed up to playing, we found our form and managed to win the first 2 matches against Decoy and Bovey Tracey's  B Team. These victories secured us a place into the winning teams' final. Facing Shaldon and Bovey Tracey's A Team was going to be a challenge as we had previously watched them score heavily.  Battling throughout, we were involved in a close game against Bovey Tracey but we were overpowered by some excellent scoring and unfortunately we lost the encounter. We were undeterred and prepared ourselves for the next game positively.  Shaldon were outstanding in both their fielding and batting and even with our best efforts we sadly lost but were proud, safe in the knowledge that we had tried our best. Overall, it was a most enjoyable hot, sunny and fun afternoon.  Many thanks to all of the parents who helped with transport and for their support during the game.
