What a day for cricket! It was wonderful to welcome a Camels team back to school for the first time in several years - the Old Boys' team put up a good fight but lost out to a very strong school side on the last day of term today. We also enjoyed catching up with some familiar faces who came along to spectate 🏏🏆🥂
