We don’t like Cricket (Oh no!), We love it!

Lyrics made famous by an English rock band in the late 1970s have never rung so true. Preparations for the return of cricket have been in full flow since the beginning of term with over 200 students training throughout the week in morning nets sessions, under the watchful eyes of resident cricket gurus Mr Bala, Mr Williams, Mr McCann and co. The first fixture saw the senior first XI narrowly miss out against Hampton School, before bouncing back the week after to put in a great performance beating Emanuel School. There have been a number of great victories from the senior squads all the way through to the U12 B team who hit 5 runs of the final two balls to win a thrilling match against Halliford School! Even more important than any victory or loss is the huge amount of enjoyment that is clear to see from all students who have represented the school across the 14+ teams that compete on a weekly basis!

A special mention goes to Y11 Alex Cormack who hit his first century for the senior 1st XI with a total of 101 runs not out in TIffin's win against Emmanuel, a fantastic achievement.
