Cricket

One of my most meaningful experiences during my year long teacher exchange was coaching the Blackbrook Cricket team. We played well all season and earned a spot in the championship.

Confidently we approached our first game, but subsequently lost to the eventual runners up in the tournament. 

 Bowling for the wickets is the goal of the game. Our second game was very close but we were just edged out in the end.

My team was ready for the third game and responded with some excellent fielding. 

Blackbrook boys up to bat. We ended up winning the last game and finishing 6th in the tournament. 

After the tournament, my team presented me with a Somerset Cricket bat and hat. They were the best group of boys and I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to coach them! Go Blackbrook!
