Sports Highlights of the Week

This week has been another excellent one across all sports, with outstanding performances and several teams progressing in major competitions.

In football, our U16 Girls have reached the Lancashire Cup Final after a strong 3-1 win against Our Lady’s Catholic High School. It was a disciplined and determined performance throughout, securing their place in the final which they now look forward to next Tuesday.

In cricket, there have been impressive achievements across multiple age groups. Our 1XI Boys have progressed into the next round of the U18 National T20 Cup following two excellent victories against Kirkham GS and Clitheroe RGS. In the first match, the team successfully chased down a huge target of 201 in just 14.1 overs, with standout half-centuries from Woody W and Theo S setting the tone. In the second match, after winning the toss and choosing to bowl, the team restricted Clitheroe RGS to 172. The batters then completed the chase with an over to spare, with Theo S once again producing a match-winning performance, finishing unbeaten on 74 from 56 balls. It was a dominant and composed set of performances across both fixtures.

Our U12 cricket team also progressed in the Lancashire Cup after a strong win against Kirkham GS. Captain Reuben M led from the front with an unbeaten 30 and figures of 2 for 3, while Ralph I contributed 2 for 8 and Rocco G took 4 for 13. The team secured victory by 23 runs after a well-rounded team effort.

In golf, our team is competing at the ISGA National Finals at Brocket Hall. Representing the school are Josh G, Molly C and Lila B. They will play over two rounds against other qualifying schools in what promises to be a challenging and exciting competition. Everyone wishes them the very best of luck over the next two days.
