Rounders is a very popular sport at the Ursuline Prep.  In the summer term the Juniors all participate during their games lessons.  There is also a Rounders Club for Upper and Lower Two.  The school participates in the District Rounders Tournament and also friendly matches are organised against local schools.

District Rounders 2022

The year 6 rounders team went to Old Brentwood’s Rugby Club for the District rounders competition last Tuesday.

We made a strong start v St Peter’s, with the opposition setting a high score of 7 ½ which we chased down and scored 9 ½ in response. In our second game we came up against a strong St Mary’s team. Batting first we scored 6 ½ as they were a strong fielding team, however we kept them to a low score in return, nearly winning, however they managed to put us under pressure in the field and they scored a rounder off their final ball to draw with us 6 ½ all. Another strong batting and fielding performance saw us win 8 – 5 v St Joseph’s and in our final group stage match we piled on the rounders with some big hits and clever running to overcome Larchwood 10 – 2 ½  . We drew on points overall with St Mary’s in the group stages, however due to a 1 ½ rounder overall difference, we just missed out on the gold medal match, going through to the Bronze match v Bentley. All contributed in the match, with intelligent fielding and strong batting, winning the Bronze with a 13 – 6 victory.

Well done to all the boys and girls on their strong team  performance.
