East End Primary smash their way to the top of Group A

East End Primary’s girls and boys put on a dazzling display of batting, bowling and fielding as the two teams positioned themselves at the top of Group A this past Friday, April 26 in the 2024 Inter-Primary Cricket Competition with wins over Cayman Prep B.

Batting first, the young ladies from Cayman Prep B finished with a decent total of 58 runs in 8 overs with the loss of only a single wicket but East End Primary’s opening pair were relentless, securing the winning 59 runs in only 4 overs.

The wins catapulted the East End Primary school teams to the top of Group A and a date with Prospect Primary, who also remain undefeated throughout the first two weeks of play.
