Interhouse Cricket

Over the past few weeks, we have been competing in an Interhouse Cricket competition!  This has been lots of fun and there have been some amazing skills on display.  Joining in events like this is an awesome way to develop lots of important skills and make a positive contribution to our house.

Friday was Finals Day.  First up, Rimu faced Kauri in the playoff for 3rd and 4th.  Kauri batted first and posted a hefty total of 120 - a great score!  After losing a couple of early wickets, Rimu's batters managed to play some wonderful shots, and they bet Kauri - but only just!

The final was between Totara and Matai.  Matai batted first, and posted a respectable score of 115, but they were worried that this wouldn't be enough - there are some pretty good batters in Totara!  So, Matai knew they would have to pull off a miracle in the field - and they did!  We have never seen so many incredible catches.  It was a very close battle in the end, as a couple of the Totara batters kept scoring runs.  It wasn't enough though, and Matai finally bowled Totara out for 95.

Congratulations to all four teams - what a magnificent display of sportsmanship and cricketing skill you put on.  Well done Matai!
