Cricketers dominate Wrekin tournament

10th May, 2010

On Sunday 9th May Packwood took two Under 11 teams to the Wrekin 6-a-side cricket tournament.

In one group the B team defeated Birchfield, Kingsland Grange, St Winefride’s and St Richard’s, confounding the pundits who doubted that they could defeat all these A teams.

In the other group the Packwood As played some exhilaratingly clinical cricket. Although they were outscored by Prestfelde, they lost only one wicket all day, comprehensively outpointing Terra Nova, West House and Old Hall to earn victory in the group and the prize of a fixture against the Packwood Bs in the final.

Despite a spirited effort by the B team, the As were comfortable winners in this decisive match, and by winning, earned the right to represent Shropshire in the ESCA/Bunbury Under 11 Hardball Competition to be held at the end of June.
