Cabaret-in-a-day success
On Friday the 19th of March, we held
the Cabaret in a day, the theme was Coun-
try and Western and we had a huge array
of songs, already exclusively reported in
the Woodleigh Weekly. It was a huge suc-
cess with many laughs and some fantastic
performances all round.
Below are some of the pictures taken
by Max Bramhall, more of his pictures are
available to view in the library, the corridor
and on Flikr. The Rhinestone Cow starred in the
performance:

 1st XI Cricket
The 1st XI cricket team this season
has few members from last year’s season
but has many players from a highly suc-
cessful U11 season last year.
Some players have done a Cricket
course over the winter but many people are
quite rusty. Our first match was on Tues-
day and we had only had one day of prac-
tice all together. Our first match was made
up of a jumbled together team against a
very strong St Martin’s Ampleforth side.
We bowled first but a few mistakes in
the field and a couple of dropped catches
led to their massive total of 206, with one of
their players making a century and another
49.
We batted very steadily at first but
soon we were looking for runs and byes
alike. Some quick wickets fell and, although
we batted for all 25 overs, we only man-
aged to get 70 runs. This was a mediocre
result as many teams last year did not even
manage 50 runs.
After this defeat we did not even
have a days practice before our next match
on Wednesday. We were playing Cundall
Manor, who had some strong batsmen but
not a very varied bowling side.
We batted first but some fast depar-
tures from some batsmen led to a low score
of 53 all out in 19 overs. Matt Procter made
a high score of 23 and Harry Connell had a
good innings, with 10 runs.
Our bowling was very good in gen-
eral but our catching in the outfield was
poor. Their opening batsmen were difficult
to get out but they were scoring no quicker
than we had been. The few dropped
catches resulted in them staying in and
growing with confidence.
A good ball from Mikey Curtis
bowled an opener out and this boosted our
alertness and we kept on looking for wick-
ets. After that, Matt Procter bowled some
great balls which were played in the air.
Unfortunately there were two hard catches
dropped but then Harry Connell took a
nice catch behind his head.
Despite these two quick wickets, they
knocked off the runs in 15 overs, scoring at
almost the same rate as us; we just need to
stay in for all the overs.
