A big well done to the Year 4/5 cricket team who overcame a very strong Lady Elizabeth Hastings (LEH) school (including Year 6 players!!) by a narrow 2 run margin!!
The game was tight all the way through and both teams were scoring runs with some super technical shots looking for the gaps between the fielders in the sports hall (which is a difficult task!). LEH school scored plenty of runs but Methley were a more disciplined side and their strength was shown in the field. The scoring system meant that for every person that was given out the team would lose 5 runs. This system was to Methley's advantage as they held on to many magnificent catches and through some super bowling managed to clean bowl a few of their players! This resulted in a lot of LEH runs being cancelled out.
Both teams played a great game and it was good to see a lot of smiles and handshakes at the end of the game between both teams!
Methley were due to play Swillington in the next league game on 5th March, however the game was cancelled (at short notice) due to the hall being used for exams. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents & grandparents of all the children who offered transport for the trip. I apologise if the late cancellation caused you any inconvenience! I will keep you posted with the new fixture date.
