Linton Heights triumph at Year 3/4 Kwik Cricket
Nine schools from across South Cambs came together at the wonderful setting of Caldecote Cricket Club for the Partnerships final competition of the school year; Year 3/4 Kwik Cricket. Kwik cricket is played in mixed teams and is very inclusive with each team member having to bowl 1 over per match and bat for 2 overs as well as field and support their team mates.
The competition was organised into pools of 3 with teams playing the other 2 teams in their group in a round robin format. Steeple Morden, Thriplow A and Linton Heights were the clear winners of their groups winning all of their matches.
The overall winners thanks to some really strong batting and bowling performances and a great team sprit were Linton Heights Junior School who finished with a score of 108 and claimed the title of South Cambs Champions 2015. Steeple Morden finished as runners up again with a good team performance and an overall score of 72.
A special fair play award went to the team from Guilden Morden who playing in their first cricket competition finished in a very respectable 4th position but also showed great team work and respect during the competition, thanking the umpires, applauding their opponents and generally competing in good spirit. They were awarded a special replica of the Ashes Urn.
Claire McDonnell, Partnership Manager said “It was a great afternoon of cricket played at a super venue. We had four matches playing simultaneously all afternoon and there was some fine play with some strong batting and fielding skills on display. Thanks to the students from Comberton Village College for umpiring and scoring the matches and to Caldecote Cricket Club for hosting the event.”
