Congratulations to St. Julie's students Alexandra and Lucy who lifted the U14 DCC Cricket trophy at Greenbank Sports Centre yesterday!

The players were representing Liverpool Cricket Club and reached the final of the indoor tournament, facing Northern Cricket Club over whom they ultimately prevailed!

The students had slightly different routes into the game. Lucy, currently in Year 8 has been playing since Year 1 when her primary school had a visit from some All Stars and she loved the game straight away.

Alexandra, currently in Year 7, entered the game by joining a family friend who played in a visit to her cricket club. Since then she has recently made it into the Lancashire Under 12 team. Along with her Lancashire team mates, she recently attended a mash up event at Manchester United's Football Academy held for International Women's Day. There, players from both disciplines tried out each others drills and skills!

Congratulations to both players on a fantastic tournament, and we wish them the very best of success in the forthcoming summer season.
