Our girls' cricket teams competed at the Kent County finals for softball cricket in both U13 and U15 age groups on Tuesday, and played some fantastic cricket in securing second and fourth places, respectively.

Year 8

The Year 8s enjoyed a dominant win in the semi-final against Highworth Grammar, with some excellent batting and catches by Shriya key to the victory.  In the final they narrowly lost to a very strong Chis & Sid team.  The girls qualify for the regional finals in July, which is a great achievement.

Year 10

The Year 10s made incredible progress, and only missed out on 3rd place by 1 run - a thrilling final over against Hayes where they only just came up short.  Darina's captaincy and encouragement was a fine example to everyone and Kate's batting was a real highlight.

It was fantastic to see the progress our girls' cricket has made in the last couple of years, from occasional players to county finalists in two age groups.  We hope it is just the start for our cricketers.  The girls all represented BGS and themselves brilliantly all day, and should be proud of themselves, as we are. Well done everyone.
