Cricket pitch preparation and boundary markings were under way today for the Prep School U11 Cricket Festival at Wellington College on Sunday. There are 22 schools competing at this superb annual event.

The weather is set to turn much cooler and unsettled as we head towards the weekend but, in the meantime, it was very warm today as we prepared for the Junior Knock-Out cricket at Derby Field and the Lords Taverners cricket match at New Ground as well as getting practice nets ready for routine coaching sessions.
