Howzat!

6th July, 2010

Packwood's talented young Under 11 cricket team has won the West Midlands division of the prestigious ESCA/Bunbury Hardball competition.

The boys, representing Shropshire, beat teams from Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire in the competition held on Wednesday 30th June in Solihull. Their victory means they have qualified for the National Finals to be held at Oakham on 9th July. Packwood Deputy Head and team coach, Oliver Lee, said, ‘The boys played tremendous cricket to win the regional competition demonstrating impressive batting, bowling and fielding skills. Their place in the National Final is fully deserved and they are looking forward enormously to the challenge of taking on the best Under 11 teams in the country. They are determined to try their hardest but, whatever the results, they should be very proud of getting this far.’
