The MILO T20 Blast School Cup is being held at Encounter Bay Oval on Tuesday 25th October. Students from Year 6/7 have been invited to enter teams of 8 or 9 to be a part of this carnival.

Each team gets to play four action packed games of cricket. Every player gets a chance to bat, bowl and field. It's an exciting atmosphere, complete with music and dancing just like the KFC T20 Big Bash League. Regional winners play on Adelaide Oval with the state winners to play at the MCG!

This is the carnival our girls’ team won in 2014 and got to play on Adelaide Oval. This same carnival in 2014 our boys team won, then went on to win the Adelaide Oval carnival – becoming State Champs - and then went on to win the carnival in Melbourne on the MCG – becoming National Champions!

Each team MUST have an adult in charge of their team before the team will be registered. So if any adults are willing to run a team on the day please see me at school or send me in a note with your child. Registrations are due no later than 22nd September.
