The match against Kenilworth school was extremely close, Southam lost by half a Rounder! The girls played brilliantly, showing their fielding skills had improved a great deal already since their last match. In the first innings Southam took an early lead achieving five and a half rounders to Kenilworth’s three and a half. In the second innings Kenilworth’s batting was excellent allowing them to achieve another eight rounders.  Southam fought hard to keep it tight but just couldn’t quite keep the score low. Finally Southam stepped into bat, there was some cracking hits from the girls. With Sophie Constable and Hannah Nelson successfully contributing to the score line. Unfortunately Southam could not quite get the extra rounder needed to win. Final score, Kenilworth eleven and a half rounders, Southam eleven Rounders!

Marie Green was deservedly awarded ‘Player of the match’.

Well done to all the girls who played, you have done yourselves proud! Miss Evans.

Such a brilliant achievement for the the year 8 Rounders Team who beat Campion by half a rounder in their first match of the season on Wednesday 22nd May 2019.

In the 1st innings Southam batted well achieving 5 and half rounders. Campion also managed to achieve 5 rounders despite Southam doing their best to keep the score tight. In the second innings Southam batted even better achieving 9 rounders. Campion got off to a slow start with their batting; in the final few balls of the game Southam started to panic and seemed to lose their way in the field. This resulted in Campion getting some excellent rounders in the final stages in the match slowly bringing the score line close again. Southam remained resilient and managed to win the game overall 14 and half rounders to 14. Sophie Constable was deservedly awarded ‘Player of the match’ due to her epic batting.

Thank you to Marie Green who captained the team. Finally a huge well done to everyone who played, I am really looking forward to coaching you this season.

Miss Evans
