ANNIVERSARY CRICKET MATCH

CLOSE

Friday, 23 Jul 2010

A cricket match to celebrate  25 years since the RGS U15 team reached the final of the Lord's Taverners' Colts Trophy Competition at Edgbaston in 1985 was played on Monday 19th July at the school. The idea of staging the match came from the team's captain John Skrimshire.
