SADDLEWORTH SCHOOL BulletinWEEK 2 • NO 36 • 6TH JULY 2018 Year 7 girls rounders through to the fi nal The Year 7 girls rounders team have knocked Bluecoat out of this cup and secured their place in the Schools Rounders fi nal! The girls arrived at Bluecoat opti misti c and ready to take the win. With some excellent fi elding in the fi rst innings, we kept their scores low. Superb batti ng and tacti cal play saw us enter our 2nd batti ng innings with only 1 rounder needed to win the game. We did this easily on our 1st ball, with Emilie taking the win immediately. We stopped the game here at the request of the oppositi on and due to the heat, knowing our place in the fi nal was safe. A great performance by all and I look forward to the fi nal which will take place on Tuesday 10th July, 4pm at Oasis. POM: Emilie N. Miss Muir
