Our year 9 girls rounder’s team recently attended the West Devon championships. Playing tough opposition from our partnership school, Tavistock were unable to overcome the opposition on this day and did not progress to the next round. They played as a team who are newly formed and showed great spirit and enjoyment of the game. Special mention to Grace Morewood who took 2 catches and scored 7 rounder’s from her 12 attempts.

The year 7 and 8’s had their first rounders tournament at Okehampton yesterday playing against schools in the West Devon league.

Year 7 Team
The year 7 team participated in a round robin tournament against Kingsbridge, Ivybridge and Okehampton. They started off strong, with a win of 9 ½ to 2 ½ against Ivybridge. The second match was a little tougher, with both teams producing lots of catches and good hits, and ended in a tie of 5 each. The final game was against Okehampton, who showed a very organised fielding team, which proved difficult for our year 7’s. The final result was 10 ½ to Okehampton, 6 to Tavistock. The girls worked really hard throughout the day and fully deserved their silver medals for finishing second. Well done!

Year 8 team

The year 8 team were in good spirits in the lead up to their first West Devon tournament at Okehampton. The team played in a round robin tournament against Okehampton B, Ivybridge B, Kingsbridge A and Okehampton D. Due to the strong batting game of the opposition, Tavistock A lost their first three games, but learnt from their loses to pull it back in the fourth game beating Okehampton 5-3. In the final knock out game, a close game was played with Tavistock narrowly missing out on a victory; the final score Okehampton C 4 1/2, Tavistock A 3. The team are looking to develop their batting game in training before their next fixture on 23rd June at Liskeard.
