Brackenhurst wins Jubilee Cricket Match
On Wednesday 30 May a Brackenhurst Cricket XI visited Norwood Park at the invitation of Sir John Starkey to play a Jubilee celebration match, as part of the long-standing links between Brackenhurst and Norwood.
Captained by final-year student Liam Roberts, the Brackenhurst team featured eight students and three staff members. Despite a short burst of heavy rain, all 44 overs were bowled, the Brackenhurst team winning by a comfortable 80-run margin.
The student players acquitted themselves very well, being complimented for both their cricketing skills and their conduct as ambassadors for the School of ARES and the University. The three staff players (Stephen Jackson, Bill Turner and John Clarkson), despite having a collective age almost as great as all eight student players combined, rolled back the years to make important contributions with both bat and ball.
Team:
Nicholas Brown, Dave Clark, John Clarkson, Owen Harlow, Stephen Jackson, Richard Paul, Liam Roberts (c), Dave Siggins, George Skinner, Bill Turner, Peter Wilson.
