Girls Win Cricket Competition

Congratulations to the girls' cricket team for winning the district cricket competition at Newent today. The team has been playing cricket every week with the 'Chance to Shine' programme promoted by the ECB. In the group stages Highnam played Huntley and Hartpury schools. Following two victories Highnam played Tibberton in a close game. All the girls bowled accurately to limit Tibberton to 248. Highnam started well when battling and scored 276 after their overs. This meant Highnam won by 28 runs.

Well done to the girls who can look forward to a county final to be held in Cheltenham next Friday, Many thanks to the parents that came along to support the team during the afternoon.
