Cricket Report 2013 the 2013 Season Will Go Down in the History of Shrewsbury School Cricket As Probably the Most Remarkable Cricket Report 2013 The 2013 season will go down in the history of Shrewsbury School cricket as probably the most remarkable ever experienced by the school. To win a national title, the HMC Twenty20 is exceptional in itself, but then to share two other national championships (ECB/ESCA Under 15 Twenty20 and the School Sport Magazine Under 17) was a feat unprecedented in school cricket. In addition, the Under 14s won the county stage of the Lord’s Taverners Trophy and will go on to represent Shropshire on the national stage in 2014. In a season where the sun shone much more than in previous seasons, it was disappointing that both the Under 15 and Under 17 teams twice attempted to play their finals but were thwarted by the weather. With September rapidly coming to an end it was decided to share their trophies with Whitgift School and Portsmouth Grammar School respectively.

The excellent and very enjoyable winter tour to South Africa had created a strong base from which this young side could progress. The season was certainly not a case of conquering all before them and there were many harsh lessons that were learnt during April and May but by June, there was real cohesion and consistency in our performances. Strangely enough, the loss of Edward Barnard (England U17 Captain) to injury after half term marked a point from which the team worked more effectively and produced more. The ‘run in’ at the end of the term was then just outstanding. Despite a heavy, back end, work load the team responded with spirit and skill. I recall the T20 win over Bromsgove on a rain-sodden King Edward’s strip with particular pride. With half the team arriving late and the loss of early wickets, we battled away to overcome our opponents. Our progress in this competition was certainly anything other than smooth. The Silk Trophy threw up some incredibly collective performances that dimmed the pre-tournament glow of both St Peter’s and Eton and finally we battered and restricted our opponents respectively, Bolton School & St Bedes, on our way to a second HMC National T20 title in three years. A season that had started with high hopes appeared, at one stage, to be meandering towards mediocrity then ‘lo and behold’ we produce the finest set of results a 1st XI at Shrewsbury School have ever produced. I would like to dedicate this season’s success to all the 1st XI squads of the recent past who have, year on year, raised the bar. I would like to praise in particular 1. the great coaching qualities of Cricket Professional Paul ‘Pridge’ Pridgeon, who has utilised our fantastic facilities to such good effect. 2. the solidity, skill and character of the 1stXI squad 3. the performances of our U6th 4. the captaincy of Henry Blofield , who led both the 1st XI and U17s to national success 1st XI Player Reports 2013 Charlie Farquhar has been a member of the 1st X1 for the past three and a half seasons and despite missing the greater part of the 2012 season has been one of our most dependable ‘go to’ bowlers. His bowling was most effective in the T20 format where he was successfully used as an opener, often allowing the team early control. Despite his rather stiff batting technique he also played some vital cameos and showed considerable maturity when others around him failed. He trained well and provided the team with the resolve they required. His outfield catching became as secure as a vault. He was not the captain but he was a great leader. His part in our cricket progress will be remembered. Matthew Gregson had burst into the 1st X1 as an U16. His left-handed power was desired and he had a few chances to shine but consistency with the bat failed him. Despite a few matches in 2012 Matt was struggling to create a niche for himself in the team until the tour to South Africa. It was on the tour that his spin bowling career started to evolve, so did his fielding. He became one of our most secure catchers. The more he trained the better he got and the less frequent the ‘wild ball’ became. He offered turn and bounce together with a rapid fast ball – all in all, often too much for the batters. His confidence and quality had reached a very high level by the end of June and the whole team benefitted from his rugged competitiveness. His T20 innings of 60 on Speech Day v Kent Street School was spectacular and dangerous to boundary spectators. He too, is a holder of two national T20 titles and stands at the very top of the performance table.

  • Wakehurst Redbacks Annual Report
    2017/2018 ANNUAL REPORT WAKEHURST REDBACKS CRICKET CLUB INCORPORATED Your committee has much pleasure in submitting for your consideration and approval the Annual Report for the 2017/2018 season. President: David Nimmo Secretary: Deanne Hutt Treasurer: Jenny Pittar WAKEHURST REDBACKS CRICKET CLUB INCORPORATED (ABN: 71 887 994 585) Annual Report For the year ended 30 April 2018 This is the 37th Annual Report of the Wakehurst Redbacks Cricket Club Incorporated. We are a Cricket Club based on Sydney's Northern Beaches playing in the Manly Warringah Cricket Association (Seniors) and the Manly Warringah Junior Cricket Association (Juniors). We have a proud history and over 500 players across in2CRICKET, T20 Blast, Sixers Girls Cricket League (SGCL), Juniors (Under 9 to Under 18) and Seniors. The Preamble – The Spirit of Cricket Taken from the MCC’s Laws of Cricket 2000 Code 4th Edition - 2010 Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to the game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains. 1. There are two Laws which place the responsibility for the team's conduct firmly on the cap- tain. Responsibility of captains The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of the Game as well as within the Laws. Player's conduct In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions by an umpire, or criticising by word or action the decisions of an umpire, or showing dissent, or generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the first place report the matter to the other umpire and to the player's captain, and instruct the latter to take action.

    INSPIRE ACHIEVE SUCCEED Page 4 Page 8 Page 14 Page 28 April 2019 Volume 10 Issue 4 Mr P Adams Hello again, Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate my Deputy, Dr Jane Tinker, who has been appointed as headteacher of the school from September 2019. I‟m sure she will be a great success and I know she is looking forward to the new challenges in September with the aim of delivering the very best education and experience of school for the students that we have in our care. I do hope you saw my e-mail regarding the Shropshire Council Local Bus Service Consultation, proposing a reduction from a 1 to 2 hourly service as well as the removal of the peak journey service to Oswestry in the morning. This has already caused great consternation in many more rural parts of the county. The 576 service that runs from Shrewsbury to Oswestry via Bomere Heath, Walford, Baschurch and Ruyton XI Towns is going to be particularly hit. Under the proposal the early morning bus that goes from Shrewsbury to Oswestry will be cut. This will make it very difficult for students to travel to Oswestry for post 16 study or to undertake apprenticeships. The bus service between Baschurch and Shrewsbury will become once every two hours and not once an hour as it is now. This will affect young people who travel to Shrewsbury for college and work. The cuts will also have an effect on the elderly who rely on the bus. I find it hard to understand when Shropshire Council is keen to see increased housing development in Baschurch and other local villages that they are then seeking to reduce the bus service.

    Ellesmerenews Shropshire Champions Page 13 Exam Success History Essay Prize Hockey Call Up Page 3 Page 10 Page 15 Ellesmere College Newsletter Autumn Term 2014 Another Great Year of Exam Results Another Great Year of Exam Results GSCE Results Celebrations he first results of the summer were those of the International TBaccalaureate Diploma, where our students’ average overall score equated to three A grades at A Level. As a challenging alternative to A Levels the IB requires students to study six subjects, a course in the Theory of Knowledge, and produce a university standard Extended Essay as part of their assessment. Universities around the world value the course as an excellent preparation, so much so that the pass level of 24 points is given the equivalent value of BCC grades at A Level. In fact 57% of Ellesmere students achieved the higher level Diploma by gaining more than 30 points, which is equivalent to 3 A* grades at A Level. In August our A Level students were also celebrating with a 97% pass rate including quite a number of outstanding performances. Despite a consensus amongst schools nationwide that marking standards had been set much higher, 50% of all grades awarded to Ellesmere students were in the top A*/B grades, with the girls notching up 60% of grades in the top A*/B Whilst heartfelt congratulations go to all students there were several particularly notable performances that are worthy of specific mention. The supply of medics each year remains constant with Emily Palmer (Shrewsbury), Head Girl, achieving A* and A grades to read Medicine at Birmingham and finding time to do the Extended Project and securing an A* in that too.
