The new cricket season has begun at CBA, with our cricketers set to represent the county against a side representing Nottinghamshire in a cup match.
CBA cricketers will play their first national cup match against a team from Nottingham High School tomorrow (Tuesday 30th April).
They will then embark on a busy season of fixtures, which will include playing against an Australian school side when they tour England in June.
The CBA cricketers played a St George’s Day fixture at Oundle School last week and won the match. They also got the chance to have tea and cakes with England cricketer Graeme Swann, who signed autographs for them (pictured above).
The CBA cricketers prepared for the new season by taking part in a four-day cricket camp at school over the Easter holiday.
Head of cricket, Jordon Joseph, said: “We did different workshops and played against Kettering and Corby District and Raunds Town Cricket Clubs. That was pre-season and gave us the opportunity to get ready for the season ahead.”
