Milo Cup Cricket

Today the year 7/8 boys went to Te Whiti Park and played a twenty20 match against Hutt Intermediate. While the Hutt team was stacked full of experienced players Muritai proudly played with a team of keen mixture of inexperienced and experienced players. After winning the toss on a wet wicket Muritai opted to bowl first and were able to pin the Hutt Intermediate batters to a score of 109. Coming into bat for the second innings Muritai started strongly with our openers hitting the ball well in all directions of the field. Sadly both openers fell to the same bowler, in the same over, to the same stroke. With both openers gone it was up to the middle order to put runs on the board. Sadly although there was some classic batting Muritai was unable to chase down Hutt Intermediates total.

Today we headed to Wellesley to see the performance by a talented group of performers called "As you write it". Their performance was based on the works of Shakespeare but was entirely impromptu. After consultation with the audience they had to include:

Set – Dark ages Britain

The Hero – A Flying Hero

Theme – Finding Nemo

They were very clever. The show was extremely funny and enjoyed by everyone.
