Another Elston team to be proud of!

This time it was our Year 4 cricketers, who competed in the County Finals at Fordhouses Cricket Club. The children faced some of the best school cricket teams in the county and produced an incredible performance throughout the day.

Elston began the tournament with a fantastic 99–49 victory. There was some impressive batting from all of our players, alongside much-improved bowling from Elijah, who got through the entire day without conceding a single wide.

The team then moved on to their second group game against Flax Hill, securing another convincing win, 103–53. Elwood was a real highlight in this match, bowling out two opposition batters.

In the semi-final, Elston faced Tipton Green. The team battled brilliantly, demonstrating exceptional teamwork to claim another 99–49 victory and book their place in the final.

The final saw us take on a very experienced side who had also won all of their matches. Despite a tremendous effort, we narrowly missed out on the gold medal, losing by just five runs.

We are incredibly proud of our talented cricketers. They represented Elston with skill, determination and sportsmanship, and we are sure many of them will represent us again in the future.

Well done, Year 4 – we are so proud of you! #TeamElston 🏏🥈
