Saddleworth were narrowly beaten by eventual winners Bluecoat in the last four but were placed third as they had a higher score than Newman College who lost in the other semi.

Isabel Fahey’s bowling was exceptional, and Ciara Wilde gave a fantastic all-round performance.

“The team was amazing, showing team spirit and togetherness throughout the day and were a joy to spend the afternoon with,” explained teacher Mel Cook.
