Crescent A's finished their season with an absolute thriller of a game, narrowly defeating a very strong Bilton Grange side on their own turf. For most of the team this was their final time representing Crescent before heading on to Secondary, and they certainly pulled out all the stops!
Fielding first, the away side bowled superbly, a steady flow of wickets restricting BG to 236-10. In reply Crescent batted very sensibly considering the low total they were chasing, picking up the risk-free singles and calling well. As a result they finished on 244-1, a hard-fought 8 run victory.
Player of the match was Alex G for his truly fantastic bowling figures of 3 wickets for just 5 runs, with a special mention for Matthew, who playing his first ever hardball game for the school, took a fantastic wicket in his first over, and a very special catch in the field.

A fantastic game of cricket played by all in the end of season game against Bilton Grange. After winning the toss we decided to put Bilton Grange in to bat first. Solid bowling saw 4 wickets fall and one superb catch, great movement and backing up in field keeping the score to 239. Some wonderful batting from the team but tight fielding from BG meant we couldn't pick up the quick singles. 4 wickets and a final score of 224. A really solid performance from all involved and a promising team for next year.

Very energetic batting, fast paced bowling and some solid fielding saw the C team rack up the runs with a wonderful partnership between Sophia and Roisin. A great game of cricket by all involved, played in the true spirit of sport.
