Gabriel
As a reward for good behaviour while I was away on cricket tour, Gabe came with me to Sale CC to share my final coaching session with First teamer and professional coach, Rick. Rick was particularly impressed with Gabe’s bowling – ‘he’s quicker than you’ Rick observed after Gabe’s first delivery. Gabe bowled straight and steady – a real achievement – and then listened to Rick explain how to bowl a leg-spinner and within the first over, had managed to turn a couple of balls.
Eliza
Eliza came home on Friday, at the end of her first full week in year 1 with the Golden Book award – for ‘super listening and always doing the right thing’.
Robin
Robin made it to his first Gimme 5 football practice. He ran around, sat attentively and took part in everything, although he struggled to grasp some of the exercises. He says he wants to go back next week.
