The 2017 Blackfriars Co-Curricular Program concludes this week with the final round of all Middle School sport. It has been an intense year with many teams competing in a variety of sporting and intellectual activities. Blackfriars has been competitive in all areas with students demonstrating excellent sportsmanship on and off the playing field.

First XI Cricket

Blackfriars played Trinity College in the final game of the season. Blackfriars were sent in to bowl after losing the toss. The team started in the best possible way with Spencer taking a wicket with his first delivery! Two more wickets fell in the 5th over with Spencer taking his second and Riley with a clever runout catching the batsman out of his crease. Criscitelli came into the bowling attack taking a wicket maiden in his first over. He bowled accurately and troubled the batsmen. In Criscitelli’s 4th over, he was on a hattrick! He finished with figures of 4/13 off seven overs including three maidens. After 23 overs, Trinity were all bowled out 61. The batting order was changed and saw Renney and Krenske open the batting. The team were off to a good start and were 2/32 at tea. After tea, wickets fell easily and quickly as the team chased down the target. Riley came in and finished the innings with a strong display of batting. Blackfriars won the match by five wickets.
