Cricket
Last Thursday and Friday, a group of 10 enthusiastic Year 7–8 cricketers took part in the annual Canterbury Junior Cricket Association (CJCA) Girls’ Cricket Festival at Hagley Park. Playing three 20/20 games over the two days, the girls were eager to put their bowling and batting skills to the test against some of the other schools in Canterbury. There were some great individual performances and the St Andrew’s team scored well over 100 runs in each of their games as they defeated Cobham Intermediate School and Cathedral Grammar School, and narrowly lost to Christchurch South Karamata Intermediate School. Games were played in a great spirit and despite poor drizzly conditions on day two, the girls were committed to putting in their best performance.
Next up for the team – St Margaret’s College next Wednesday! Congratulations to those involved.
