Cricket

On Friday 1 November, Pymble competed in Round 1 of the Northern Schools Cup against Barker. It was a Grand final rematch from 2023 and our Pymble cricketers were motivated to start our cricket campaign on the front foot.

Pymble won the toss and elected to bat. Notable mentions to Willa Pearson (Year 8), Harriet Gregory (Year 8), Aaleya Bookless (Year 8) and Chloë Lenane (Year 7) who were aggressive in their run scoring leading to a defendable total of 52 runs. Harriet Gregory (Year 8) troubled Barker batters with her spin bowling, resulting in 2 wickets.

Aaleya Bookless (Year 8) was threatening with her fast bowling resulting in a wicket. Evija King (Year 7) opened the bowling and managed to clean bowl the Barker opening batter. Miesha Gal (Year 8) was also dangerous with the ball and limited run scoring opportunities with every over. Willa Pearson (Year 8) was wicket keeper taking two wicked stumpings!

Despite a valiant effort from the Pymble team, Barker managed to complete their run chase with overs to spare.

A great effort from all students and I look forward to our next match against Abbotsleigh.
