One week to go...

After what must have seemed like an eternity to arrive, the tour is just around the corner and the excitement levels are rising.

Over the last 3 months the lads have been training hard in preparation for the challenge of potentially taking on some of the Windies future stars.

We've seen some good performances in the intra-squad indoor cricket matches held over the last few Friday afternoons. Cameron Emanuel-Burns has racked up 127 runs across 2 innings without being dismissed, 
Daniel Marsh, Jack Fakley and Jesse Mills have also had some good knocks of 48, 47 and 47* respectively.
The ball has been perhaps a little overshadowed by the bat so far with only Ronan Taggart and Harry Wren taking multiple wickets in their respective games, however with only 6 wickets to get each innings it can be tough to take big hauls.

The guys have also been working hard to raise money for the tour by running afterschool coaching sessions for some younger HGS cricketers, providing refreshments for the Old Harveians at the RAF Squadronaires concert and supervising a Disco for over 200 year 7&8 students from The Harvey and FSG.
