CHILTERN DISTRICT COUNCIL

CHAIRMAN’S Under 14 Girls CRICKET TOURNAMENT

Thursday 23^rd June at Chesham Bois Cricket Club

This event was first staged by Chesham Bois Cricket Club, in conjunction with Chiltern District Council in 2002 and the relaxed day of girls cricket was a huge success. This summer, once again there were 6 teams taking part, each team played 5 matches of pairs cricket, on one of those scorching hot summer days, that has everyone searching out the shade.

Holmer Green School took part for the first time, this year, and they were joined by Chesham Park, Amersham School, Chesham HS (2 teams), Dr Challoners, and an All Stars team. The last matches in the round robin saw two previously unbeaten teams face each other. Chesham High B took on cup holders, Dr Challoners, in a tight contest. Steady bowling & sharp fielding from Chesham HS kept Challoners to 240 for their first 3 pairs but Alex & Natalie put on 23 in the last 2 overs. The Challoners attack made the going tough for their local rivals, with wickets falling at regular intervals. The target was just too daunting, as another wicket, with its consequent loss off 5 runs in the last over, confirmed Chesham total at 15 runs short & Dr Challoners took the cup for the third year.

Many thanks to Chiltern District Council who sponsored the event, with hard working Georgina O'Dell acting as liason. Also thanks to Ian Gomm and his fellow umpires who did such a stirling job, helping the event to run smoothly. Councillor Jeremy Banham, the chair of the District Council presented certificates to all the girls & the cup to Dr Challoners….. and that concluded a great summer day out.
