VSA Sharks Cricket Team Tournament at HKCC
Hong Kong Cricket Club, 8 May, 2019 Contributed by Conrad Au (4A5) The VSA Sharks Cricket Team played in Cricket Hong Kong’s Primary Schools Cricket tournament at Hong Kong Cricket Club on 8 May 2019. We were fortunate that the rain wasn't too heavy and we were able to play all of the scheduled matches. The format was 6-a-side pairs cricket matches. VSA Sharks entered two teams. VSA Sharks Team A won the first match against Harrow B 157-129, lost to Kellet 156-164 in the second game and beat St James B 133-126 in the third. In the final, (3v4) VSA Sharks beat St James A 190-175 to finish in 3rd place overall in the tournament. The B team lost their first game to North Point 160-181, lost their second to St James A 111-134 and were also defeated in their third game by Harrow A 111-191. In the final (7v8), the VSA Sharks beat St James B by 14 runs to finish in 7th place overall in the tournament. Our team spirit was strong throughout. All of our team members had a great time on the cricket field. A big thanks to Mr. Woods and Coach James of Cricket Hong Kong who introduced cricket to VSA and has been running the ASA program at school. I'd also like to thank all the parents for their support. |

Cricket Hong Kong Primary Schools Cricket Tournament
Hong Kong Cricket Club, 20 February, 2019 Contributed by Paco Chow (5A4) We were fortunate to have a sunny day after all the showers of the past few days. Thank goodness that the great weather allowed for the Cricket Hong Kong Primary Schools Cricket Tournament to be a great success. The format was 6-a-side pairs cricket matches. VSA Sharks entered two teams. We also had a few other cricket members attend in a spectator/ support role. It was great having them there to cheer us on. VSA Sharks Team A won the first match against North Point Government Primary School by 57 to 19, but lost the second and third matches to Kellett School and Harrow International School respectively. On the other side of the cricket pitch, VSA Sharks Team B lost their luck in the three matches with very tight scores. Overall, our VSA Sharks Team A finished 4th in the tournament while our Team B finished in 7th place. Although we didn't get the results we wanted, our team spirit was strong throughout. All of our team members had a great time on the cricket field. We had fun developing our skills and sharing our experience with waves of laughter. A big thanks to Mr. Woods and Coach James of Cricket Hong Kong who introduced cricket to VSA and have been running the ASA program at school. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Dawson and all the parents for their support too. I really hope that the VSA Sharks Cricket Team can continue in Secondary when I move on to Y6. There will be another tournament coming up on 8 May. Let's keep our fingers crossed! We will do our best with the strongest ever VSA team spirit. Hip Hip Hooray! |

On 6 December, 2018, the VSA Sharks Cricket Teams had a blast at the Kowloon Cricket Club
It was the CHK Primary School Cricket Tournament organised by Cricket Hong Kong and venue sponsored by Kowloon Cricket Club and Hong Kong Cricket Club. It took the format of 6-a-side cricket matches. Each school can nominate more than one team. Since VSA has 14 students enrolled, we formed ourselves into two teams of seven to participate in this event.
In the preliminary rounds, VSA Sharks Team A won the first match against Nord Anglia Team A by 121 to 107, but lost the second match to Nord Anglia Team B 135 to 146. On the other hand, our VSA Sharks Team B lost their first match to Harrow International School by 119 to 151, but won their second match against Nord Anglia Team C by an equally high score of 151 to 114. After counting the total scores recorded in each matches, our VSA Team A came first in our pool, and Team B got 2nd place in their pool, leading both teams to the next round of championship match and bronze medal match respectively. Finally, our VSA Sharks Team A earned the Silver Medal and VSA Sharks Team B got the 3rd Runner Up of the day.
I’d like to say a big thank you to Mr. Woods and Coach James from CHK who has been running our school’s cricket ASA program and brought us to this tournament to showcase our skills. I would also like to thank Lamma Cricket Club and Ashford Benjamin who sponsored our playing shirts.
Both teams had a brilliant time on the pitch and a great time together. We shared all our results and had an awesome time playing as a team - and a family. Our team members include Me, Paco, Darren, Gabriel, Joshua, Giselle, Anne, Aodhan, Lin Lin and James of Y5, and Ned, Lillian, Alex and James of Y4.
Anyone interested in cricket should come join us. We will have two more tournaments on February 20th and May 8th. Stay tuned!
