What a sensational day of cricket for our U15 girls’ team! Facing off against the region’s best, the squad put on an absolute masterclass in skill, creativity, resilience and sheer determination. The students embodied our Accomplished Student charateristics.

Here is how an action-packed double-header unfolded:

Match 1: KEVI vs. Easington Academy

The girls started the tournament with all cylinders firing. Setting a formidable target or chasing with intent, our batting lineup scored 129 runs. Easington Academy fought hard, but our disciplined bowling attack and sharp fielding kept the pressure on, restricting them and allowing us to secure a dominant first victory!

Match 2: KEVI vs. St Leonard’s Catholic School

In a true clash, KEVI faced off against fellow County winners, St Leonard’s, in a nail-biting thriller. It was a spectacular display across both innings, with our girls showcasing exceptional prowess with both the willow and the corck.

In a game that went right down to the wire, it was a heart-stopper. Despite a valiant, high-energy performance in the field, St Leonard’s just managed to squeak past our total of 99 runs, reaching 100 in a tense, final-over finish. This mirrored the Boys’ team with an agonisingly close result.

While the second result didn’t quite go our way, the girls played with the hearts of champions, finishing 32nd out of 360 schools across England. To compete at this level with unwavering team spirit is a massive achievement and a KEVI first!

Huge congratulations to the entire squad — you’ve made us incredibly proud!
