Senior House
cricket took place on a gloriously sunny Monday afternoon. The Everett team
batted first and amassed a strong total, including a very impressive 25 not out
in a single over, including 3 sixes from Captain Rory O’Conor who had to retire
in this limited over game. We were pleased to welcome Eleanor, the first girl to play
cricket for Everett, to the crease, who showed assured batting and good
calling in her partnership with Charlie Proctor. Eleanor finished on 8 not out
and Charlie 19 not out. Alex Sanderson also contributed to the run total. We
also fielded and bowled well, a highlight being a wicket for James Martin off
the first ball of his over, he went on to take 2 wickets for just 4 runs.
However a mix up in fielding too many players at one point led to a run
penalty, but even so we took Burr to the last ball of the last over, before
they just clinched a narrow victory. Matthew even stepped up and took on a few
balls from Burr’s Fili Savou.
