The ‘Widger’ Match

Next week will also see the highlight of the cricket calendar: the ‘Widger’ match. I am confident that the 1st XI (made up of Year 13 leavers) will learn some valuable final lessons when the staff beat them in the annual staff versus 1st XI cricket match! We would like to extend a very warm invitation to all parents and friends who have helped at School sporting events throughout the year, be it by making tea or providing transport for the boys, to come along to Grist's for cricket on the afternoon of Thursday, 20 July and tea from 4.30 pm onwards.
