Academy Sports Rundown: 2nd May 2025

It has been a quiet week for sport at the Academy as Team PE prepares for some exciting upcoming fixtures and events. However, our U15 Cricket team did continue their success, see how they got on below: 

Victory for Churchill U15 Cricket in Somerset State Schools Cup

Our U15 Cricket Team continued their strong start to the season with a convincing win over Priory in the Somerset State Schools Cup.

On a beautiful sunny afternoon, Churchill travelled to Priory and, after losing the toss for the second time this season, were sent into the field. Despite this, the team responded brilliantly, restricting Priory to just 70 for nine. It was a true team effort, with nine bowlers used and everyone contributing with wickets and catches—perhaps helped along by a generous layer of sun cream!

The standout performer with the ball was Matt, who impressed once again with three wickets in just two overs.

Churchill chased down the target in just eight overs, losing only two wickets. Batters Palmer and Shepard both remained unbeaten in the 30s, steering the team to a comfortable victory.

A big thank you to Priory for hosting the fixture. The team head’s out again in two weeks' time for what promises to be another exciting afternoon.
