We are thrilled to share the outstanding achievements of our Year 8 students at the Under 13 Unified Cricket Tournament held at Wolverhampton Cricket Club yesterday. The team from St Edmund’s Catholic Academy participated with great enthusiasm and demonstrated remarkable skill and sportsmanship throughout the competition.

After engaging in intense matches against formidable opponents such as St Chads, St Helens, Aldersley High, and the Royal School, our St Edmund’s team emerged as the well-deserved champions. Their dedication, teamwork, and perseverance were truly commendable, and they displayed exceptional talent in all aspects of the game.

One of the remarkable aspects of the tournament was the opportunity provided to all team members to showcase their skills in bowling, batting, wicket-keeping, and fielding. Each student contributed to the team’s success and played a crucial role in securing the championship. The way they supported and encouraged one another, along with their clear and effective communication, was instrumental in achieving the overall victory.

To recognise their remarkable accomplishment, all team members, namely Isaac Chilton, Elijah Dankwa, Daniyar Sheriff, Rishi Chumber, Owen Davies, Mangirdas Vaitkus, and a fellow student in Year 8 were presented with well-deserved medals. Additionally, they were awarded a plaque that will be proudly displayed in the St Edmund’s Catholic Academy PE Department, serving as a testament to their exceptional performance.

Congratulations to the entire team for their outstanding achievement and for representing our academy with such distinction. Their hard work, dedication, and excellent sportsmanship are truly praiseworthy, and they serve as role models for their peers.
