PSSA Senior Girls Knockout Cricket: Match Report

On Tuesday the 26th of March, our senior girls knockout cricket team played their first round match against Newport Public School, at Artarmon Reserve. Newport won the toss and decided to bowl first. We made steady progress throughout our batting innings and compiled a respectable total of 71 from our 25 overs. Caitlin Janssen was our standout, batting for the majority of the innings and top scoring for Artarmon. She even soldiered on after getting hit on the thumb from a rearing delivery, which she dispatched towards the fine leg boundary.

After a brief lunch break, it was our to turn to bowl. We tried hard with our bowling and fielding. However, Newport’s batswomen were outstanding and hit several boundaries off good deliveries. The highlight of our fielding innings was Grace Harding’s run out at the bowlers end.

Newport chased down our total of 71, with 9 wickets in hand. Though we didn’t win, the Artarmon Senior Girls PSSA knockout cricket team represented our school proudly, through their magnificent sportsmanship and positive attitude. Everyone in the team showed great improvement in their cricketing ability over the past few weeks of training and had fun with their teammates.
