Cricket
For cricketers who have aspirations of playing professional cricket, we have strong links with Essex and Northamptonshire County Cricket Club. For girls we have strong links with Sunrisers, who used our excellent facilities to train in both the winter and summer months. Recently Noah Thain has made his debut for Essex 1st XI and represented England U19s at the World Cup in South Africa in January 2024, and Issy Routledge has gone onto to play for Sunrisers Academy and represent Cambridgeshire University in the Varsity fixture at Lords.
In recent years cricket has gone from strength to strength. In 2017 and 2019 our boys U18s made the last 8 of the National HMC Schools T20 competition. Our girls U15s made the National T20 final in 2018 and our U18 girls made the last 4 of Nationals in 2021. There is now a full fixture list during the summer term for both boys and girls and an Academy program that runs all year round.
