Dr Loader and Mr Burrows took 19 cricketers from Year 5 to a tournament at Shiplake College on Friday 5th June.

The tournament was played against other 8 local primary school teams and took place on Shiplake’s ample and beautifully maintained grounds, under the watchful eye of Chris Ellison (ECB Level 4 Coach and Director of Cricket at the school).

Our two teams, named (by Shiplake) The Supers and the Swords, acquitted themselves well, although there were no placings or prizes on offer. The opportunity to play competitive cricket was more than enough!

As always, it was a pleasure to take them and great to see their cricket developing nicely. We have some very good players and an excellent squad to choose from.

Many thanks to all the players, to Mr Burrows and Dr Loader for their cricketing skills, and to Shiplake College for also providing transportation. Thanks also to the parents who came to support their children.
