Teachers' Cricket
The Teachers' Cricket team started their season with a close win over a strong side captained by Mr D Orme, a parent at Hill House.

Hill House batted first and reached an impressive score of 172 for 5 from 24 overs. An impressive opening display from school Principal Mr Holland gave the Teachers' team a solid start but when team captain, Mr C Keyworth, hobbled off with a thigh injury it looked as though Mr Orme's team might gain the upper hand. However, all was not loast as Mr A Parkin-Coates gained control once more with a wonderful display of straight-bat shots.

The Hill House teachers then took the field. Confident bowling from nearly all the team members and some wonderful fielding, especially from Mr D Cook and Mr M Hague, made sure that the opposition were always going to struggle to reach their target. As the light started to fade the teachers' hopes grew and when Mr Orme was bowled by Mr M Davis with just two overs to go the result seemed inevitable. Mr Orme's XI eventually saw out the 24 overs having fallen short of the total by just 7 runs.
Year Group Representation

The U13 Rounders team travelled to Ranby this week. Hill House secured a fine win after their first innings bat with Ranby failing to match their score after two innings. Hill House managed to get Ranby out with clinical fielding and pin-point bowling. There were superb batting performances from Clara Petch, Jessica Vernon, Victoria Foster and Grace Sanderson. Hannah Cain's fielding is also worthy of special mention.Hill House – Northern ISA Champions!
