We did exceptionally well with Meghan and Alison (Chestnut) taking 1st and 2nd second place respectively in the girls race. In the boys race Lucas (Oak) finished 2nd with Costa (Elm) 3rd.
The rest of the team ran really well and from their efforts ensured the boys came 1st in their category and the girls came 2nd
The team score overall confirmed that Merryhills were RUNNERS UP in the competition!!!.

Cricket Finals @ The Hub

After our win at the ‘Best Team Cricket’ tournament at Enfield C.C we were entered into the Middlesex Finals at The Hub, Regents Park.
We arrived in glorius sunshine and played some very strong teams. We actually won 3 out of 4 games and tied with two other schools. The numbers of runs were counted to deterine who would go through to the semi finals. Unfortunately we had not scored enough runs and sadly had to watch the other teams go through.
HOWEVER, everyone agreed that we had had a great time and felt very proud of the fact that we had reached the county finals and had the opportunity to play at The Hub.
Well Done Cameron, Campbell, Charles, Lorenzo, Vincent, Kishan, Akshay and Kush you are a credit to Merryhills School !

Merryhills Cricketers visit Lords!!

As part of the Chance to Shine project that has been brought into schools across the borough, Merryhills were invited to take part in a Kwik Cricket tournament, to be played at the ‘home of cricket’ – Lords.

On Friday 10th June 10 of the Year 6 cricket team along with Mrs Richards (SEN Specialist/Chance to Shine coach) and Miss Davies (Year 2 Teacher) travelled to Lords on the tube. There we were met by Beth Morgan, who is part of the ladies England cricket team, and Richard Darwin, Manager of Chance to Shine. We were 1 of 6 schools representing from the North London area.

We were allowed to have a walk around the main ground where we had pictures taken and were allowed to touch the grass in the hope it would bring us good luck!
Our matches were to be played on the nursery ground, we were lucky enough to be able to play 1 whole game.

Unfortunately rain stopped play and we had to make a hasty retreat indoors. All was not lost as we were able to continue with a slightly modified version of kwik in the indoor nets.

When all the scores were calculated Merryhills and Fulham were to play in the finals. Fulham batted 1st and despite a very good team effort we came runners up.

However, we never lost our Merryhills magic, everyone agreed it was a very magical day all-round, after all it’s not everyday you get the chance to shine and play cricket at Lords!!

Well done to our cricket stars Francesca, Kishan, Emily, Lorenzo, Akshay, Cameron, Lilly, Kush, Vincent and Belle and a big thank you to Mrs Richards and Miss Davies.
