Tolga takes the win
GIRLS from Tolga State School have been crowned winners of a Far North interschool cricket competition.
The Woolworths Cricket Blast School Cup Far North finals were recently held and saw boy’s and girl’s teams from St Thomas’ and Tolga State School travel to Cairns to compete in a day of T20 cricket matches.
The teams from both local schools had previously won the Tablelands divisions in the primary school age group.
The girl’s final was between St Thomas’ and Tolga. After losing to St Thomas’ in a previous match they met again in the final, with Tolga winning 121 to 117.
Each wicket taken earned the team five additional runs, contributing to their total score.
The Tolga boys won all their games but were outscored by St Andrew’s on runs at the end of the day, making them runners up of the competition.
