TO THE TUNE of tumultuous cheers, chanting and singing by their supporters, Wesley Hall Primary School racked up their 11th title in the Guardian Group Herman Griffith Primary Schools Cricket Competition, registering an exciting victory by four wickets over Bayley’s Primary at Empire Club in Bank Hall yesterday.
The King Street, Bridgetown-based school, easily the most prolific winners in the competition’s history, withstood a valiant, late fightback by Bayley’s, who stoutly-defended their modest 117 for eight after winning the toss and batting.
