The festival showcased the strongest school cricket teams across Essex, Hertfordshire, Hampshire and Buckinghamshire. Dame Bradbury’s U11 girls began Winter Net training during the spring term and have been developing their skills in preparation for the event.

Sam Godfrey, Head of Sport at Dame Bradbury’s, said: “The girls gave an exceptional performance, achieving  an excellent second-place finish against very strong opponents. We are incredibly proud of not only their performance at the festival, but also their remarkable progress as cricketers. Their hard work and determination have led to significant improvement.. We look forward to continuing to support  the team in developing their cricketing skills.”
