Students attend cricket gala day

Pretty Beach Public School Year 6 students attended the Blast Cup Cricket Gala Day at Sohier Park, Ourimbah, on Wednesday, August 15.

"We were lucky enough to be able to enter both a boys' team and a girls' team to compete against four other Central Coast schools," said Year 6 teacher Mr Andy Podmore.

"The competition was hot on a hot day, but our students were up for the challenge.

"Both teams competed excellently and there were a number of fours, sixes, catches, run outs, stumpings and dismissals throughout the day.

"It was particularly pleasing to witness the fantastic sportsmanship that our students displayed to each other and to the other schools.

"Our girls came second and our boys came third.

"The students utilised the variety of skills taught in cricket sessions at school," said Mr Podmore.
