On Wednesday the 12th November, 8 girls from years 5 and 6 headed down to the Indoor Cricket Tournament in Paignton. Having won the event last year the girls were keen to replicate the previous girls success. The first 3 matches were part of the group phase of the competition and in each match the girls grew in confidence beating Chudleigh, Abbotskerswell and South Brent. These fantastic results meant that we were through to a semi final match which we won convincingly. Nervously the girls faced Exminster in the final. Both teams were showing signs of nerves, Rydon had chosen to field first and were under pressure when the first 2 batsman from Exminster smashed the ball around the room scoring lots of runs between them. We held our own though and with some careful fielding and accurate bowling we were able to keep them increasing their total too much, ending the innings on 215 runs. Faced with our target the girls took educated risks and ran cleverly to achieve a victory with a winning innings score of 240......Champions again!!!
Well done girls, you showed some fantastic skills and also a very kind sporting attitude that was clear to see.
