FELSTED School's under-15 girls’ cricket team achieved a top-three finish at the national final of the Lady Taverners Indoor Cricket Cup at Lord’s.

The girls put on a strong performance throughout the day, winning their first three games and only narrowly conceding their fourth.

With three teams tied on points, the final result came down to run-rate, which placed Felsted in a very respectable third, out of an initial 900 teams.

Felsted cricket coach and Women’s Superleague player, Carla Rudd, said: “Every girl played a part in the day’s success and they conducted themselves in a professional manner.

"Coming third in the country is a brilliant achievement and I am very proud of the girls.”

Between playing their four games, the girls received a tour of Lord’s and got to meet current England captain, Alastair Cook.
