Group Stage
In May, the TGS team secured the top position in their group stage, held at Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School. Their outstanding teamwork and skillful play enabled them to win their group and advance to the semi-finals.

Semi-Final and Final Matches
Last Tuesday, the TGS team travelled to Mote Cricket Club in Maidstone for the crucial knockout stages. In the semi-final, they faced Hayes. Hayes set an impressive 82 which TGS were able to successfully chase down through some amazing batting with Annabel scoring an impressive 20 and Eva hitting a rapid 15, to help TGS over the line.

The final match was an exhilarating contest that showcased the team's resilience and determination. Bowling extremely well they restricted Weald to 65/1. Priya and Lucy were the pick of the bowlers. Weald fought back with some impressive bowling taking 6 wickets, however Annabel was able to keep the scoreboard ticking and retired on 24. With the game coming down to the wire, TGS needed four runs off the last ball to win. In a display of exceptional batting and nerves of steel, the team successfully scored the necessary runs, thanks to an amazing drive down the ground by Suri, clinching the victory.
