Well done all; we look forward to seeing everyone in action for House Athletics on Saturday 29th June.
Last Saturday saw three cricket teams take to the field to play hardball in the sunshine.
The U13s played a T20 v Kings Gloucester, demonstrating their clear love for the game. During the afternoon U15s hosted and played Woldingham School from Surrey who were in Cheltenham on a weekend tour. The team put their best foot forward and after some impressive batting from birthday girl Helena, they put in an outstanding performance in the field.
The U14 team relished the opportunity to play a hardball pairs game against local club side Cheltenham Cricket Club where there was a super display of risk taking and boundary shots.
