CRICKET

It has been a terrific cricket season so far. The enthusiasm for the game is probably higher than it has ever been, with 57 Year 8 boys at 7.00 a.m. nets! But this is not a one - off. It happens every week for these boys and for the other age groups as well. Not surprisingly there are

talented players in the 2 junior age groups and it has been brilliant to watch them play and make so much rapid progress. They are becoming highly competitive teams. Already highly competitive is the Under 15 side which has qualified for Finals Day in the National

20 - 20 Cup. They play at Whitgift School on Thursday 16 th June. From this team, 3 players represented Surrey Under 15 v The ACE Academy at The Oval on June 10 th . Pictured are Om Sharma, Anshul Pradeep Sharma and Kajus Syed all of whom contributed to a splendid win. At the top of the school, the 1 st XI has played so much attractive cricket. Vice - Captain Datta Vasireddy has been in the form of his life with 4 half centuries against tough opposition. 1 st XI Captain Rayhan Rafiq has the only century of the season so far but there is a lot of cricket still to come.
