Byron Wood, Pye Bank and Firs Hill took part in a local Cricket league in July.

Organised by retiring teacher Ted Elgy and Nic Cassin from Byron Wood, the six matches took place, come rain or shine, at the all-weather cricket surface at Abbeyfield Park. Firs Hill won the competition and went on to play Brook House School in the semi final.

Pye Bank coach Garfield Walters said,

“It was fantastic. I'm really proud of our boys, who were the youngest to compete. We had loads of fun as well.”

Ted Elgy said,

“The games were competitive but it was a friendly rivalry and excellent sportsmanship was shown from teachers and children of all three schools. Let’s hope the tradition of playing cricket continues even after I retire.”
