Gelli Cricket Team gain respectable third place in Miskin Mannor Competition

The Boys Cricket Team accompanied by Miss Carly and Miss Hatch participated in a Dragon Sports Cricket Festival at Miskin Mannor Cricket Club. They played Llwyncrwn Primary in the opening match and were victorious. They also defeated Dolau Primary in their second game. Next up were our "new rivals" PONTYCLUN. Having made Mr. Roberts miserable for a week after beating them in the Sports Hall Athletics competition, the stakes were high. Pontyclun were winners thanks to their superior bowling. They went on to the final (where they lost in the last over, rather contraversionaly, to Hendreforgan Primary. In our last game we beat Trehopcyn Primary. Here is a photograph of the boys - Josh J, Josh G, Jordan G, Jordan N, Josef M, Keiron D, Josh W, James, Ceri and Joseph A. - who played in front of the pavilion scoreboard at Miskin's picturesque ground. At the end of the day the organisers thanked the children for a wonderful festival of cricket and announced that we had been placed third in the competition. Llongyfarchiadau bawb, Miss Hatch a Miss Carly. The organisors were so impressed with the performance they invited the squad to come to play at Miskin before the end of the term.
