AVON BAY LYNN KIWI 8 CRICKET TOURNAMENT

Kiwi 8 Cricket Tournament 2017

On Tuesday 8th March, Mr Southgate and Mr Nair, took 3 teams to the Avon Bay Lynn Kiwi 8 Cricket Tournament.  All teams were fantastic at bowling, fielding and hitting wickets.  Our three teams were magic at stopping students from other schools scoring as we struck them out.  Our batting was just as good.  Smacking 6’s and 4’s everywhere.  We even had Logan from Rm 2 hit the ball so far, it went over the fence!

During the lunch break each school nominated a boy and a girl to compete in a throwing and catching competition.  Regan from Rm 2 won the throwing competition and Madi from Rm 31 won the catching competition - great skills shown from both students!

The cricket day was a lot of fun and all students drank a massive amount of water and we were lucky to finish the day before the rain came bucketing down.
