Mr Wright can be a proud coach for what they have achieved this year; hopefully they can winter well and come back stronger next season.

This was the boys’ first full season of cricket due to the COVID outbreak in 2019; the more recent lockdown in January also not helping as it meant that Mr Mickleburgh didn’t have a full winter training with the boys. In September, the team had two matches to play before reaching the finals day on 16th September. They managed to win their last 16 match away on a tired pitch against Shenfield School, withWill D putting in a strong performance with bat and ball. In their quarter-final match they were awarded a walk over and Passmores played a friendly against the B team in what was a nail-biter. On finals day, the team was drawn against KEGS.

Johnny P starred with the ball taking 4 wickets and contributing to bowling KEGS out for 83 in the 20th setting up a final with the old foe, Forest School. In the final, the team was asked to field first and got off to a flying start with Alex H
