IT was a successful day on Monday for St Bernard’s Primary School’s T20 Blast cricket sides, with both the boys’ and girls’ sides triumphing in the regional final in Shepparton.

The girls team won the final by 40 runs against Yarrawonga Primary School getting a massive eight wickets in the final (each wicket adds five runs to the team total).

Ava Elkington bowled fabulously in the final while Rosie Edwards hit many boundaries.

The boys team won by five runs in a thrilling final against Tallangatta, with grade 5 student Ryan Allen hitting the winning runs in a brilliant last over which saw him hit two sixes in double zones, resulting in 12 runs each.

Both sides will head down to Melbourne on a bus this Friday to take part in the Victoria State Primary Cricket Blast Finals at St Kilda’s Harry Trot Oval.

Students will play against schools from Mildura, Warrnambool, Truganina, Swan Hill, Waverley and Bass Valley.

St Bernard’s will look to defend their boys’ title after the school won the state final last year, albeit with a different squad.
