The Boat Yard

Another great session at the Boat Yard today, 15 kids loving their cricket, a really competitive match followed the coaching sessions, with the match going to a super over! A massive score of 23 for the team of Shervin, Pratyush, Ben, Josh, JP, Malha and Archie on his debut session! Thanks to the coaches and parents for the support.

Another great cricket session at the Boat Yard on Saturday morning, slightly cooler than recent weeks but this week we had the sound of a tree being chopped down and smashing through the neighboring shed! Thank to our resident photographer Tim Evans and our coaches Glenn, Brett and Matt. 11 boys this week, we are getting closer to putting a team together!

A strange scene greeted the boatyard on this Saturday morning, a pollution reading of 211 and the app telling everybody to stay inside, but the boatyard kids are made of sterner stuff than that, and we went ahead anyway. As we got to the ground the rain started, and we were forced to give the Bowling machine some umbrella coverage as you can see from the photos here!

Thankfully, the rain cleared, and the pollution went away and we were able to have a great session in the coolest weather I can remember!

After some catching drills, we decided to have a “quik cricket” match in pairs against the bowling machines. The dynamic duo of Ben and Callum winning the day with a score of 55 having been 20 for 4 (nett score of 😎 after half of their 15 mins, just pipping the big hitting pair of Jack E and Kai who hit the most sixes but lost too many wickets to score a competitive 48. Josh and Joseph started well but lost too many wickets with Shervin and Aaron taking the wooden spoon. Good session with the right amount of fun and competitive spirit!
