Fun in the sun at Girls U15s CTS Festival
Thomas Adams School from Wem claimed the honours at the Chance to Shine Under 15s Girls Festival organised by Cricket Shropshire at Frankwell in Shrewsbury.
The competition saw six teams from five schools from across Shropshire come together in a competitive round-robin tournament.
Thomas Adams took on teams from Bridgnorth Endowed, Ercall Wood, Ludlow School and two from Newport Girls High.

“The matches were played in great spirits, with every team enjoying plenty of game time and the opportunity to showcase their skills.”
Newport Girls High A were runners-up with their B side and Ludlow joint third after a series of closely contested matches.
