Cricket East

As part of Peterborough United Football Club's Community Week in May, Cricket East ran a 10-a-side soft ball cricket match between Iqra Girls Academy, Peterborough and Bourne Grammar School followed by a 7-a-side football match.

Iqra won the cricket by 50 runs and Bourne won the football 1-0!

Cricket East Diverse Communities Officer Dave Summers said: “It was great to be invited to be part of the Football Club’s Community Week and I know all the girls had a fantastic experience of playing both football and cricket on the day. Thanks to everyone at the Football Club and representatives from the ECB, Northants CCC and the RAF for coming along to support on the day. A fantastic example of sport playing its part with integration and cohesion locally.”

Kayleigh Stevenson, RAF Regional Engagement Officer, commented: “Tremendous to see so many youth teams being active.”

Bourne Grammar School’s Anthony Graves added: “Thank you for giving the girls the opportunity. It’s certainly a day that will live long in the memory.”
