FESTIVAL: 03'
Following
the successful festival in 2002, it became immediately apparent that the
intense week of cricket had a positive effect on the players with their
skills , knowledge of the game and camaraderie increasing noticeably.. Son in 2003 Bucks ran the
second week of cricket, The Festival 2003:
|
The first day of the week was
hosted by Aylesbury CC. U13 girls from all over the county came
together for a day of competitive cricket, despite the chilly
weather the girls had a good day, getting the opportunity to
hone there cricketing skills.

In the evening the Bucks 'Allstars'
were out in force again playing against Oxford and Horspath
Ladies. Despite some highly competitive cricket Oxford and
Horspath came out deserved winners demonstrating more 'staying
power' with there dogged batting.

Day two was this single
competition at Winchmore Hill CC. Three
tournaments were held
sideby side with an U15/ U13 and U13 plate,
the winners were Hannah McManus, Imogen Barton-Jones and Sadie
Cole.

The day proved a huge success
with the standard of play increasing throughout the day as the
girls began to understand the subtleties of the single wicket
game and learnt skills of being a captain and setting their own
fields.

Then it was off to Marlow, with
Marlow CC and Marlow Park CC hosting the U15 inter-counties
tournament. Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Bucks
all entered sides competing for the silverware. It was obvious
to all involved that the standard of the cricket in the
tournament had increased significantly from the previous
year.

With some huge sixes, stunning
fielding and miserly bowling all the sides provided some high
quality cricket for the spectators to watch. Berkshire retained
their crown As the Bucks Fest' six aside champs beating
Cambridge in the final.

|
After a hard fought day Berkshire
regained there crown as inter-county six-a-side champions.
