It is great to see our St Bede’s Old Boys vs Christchurch Boys High Old Boys games continue to receive excellent player support. This current fixture was affected by the fact that there were 2 days of club cricket played at the weekend which meant that many of the usual players for this match were unavailable. The win for both sides though was that we were able to introduce a number of new cricketers to the Valley.

CBHS posted 157 and it looked for a while that this would not be enough and that St Bedes would carry the day. The loss however of the last 3 St Bedes wicket for 20 runs and a score of 127 meant that CBHS would eventually run out winners on the day.

We look forward to our Old Boys games for next year when St Bedes take on Christ’s College and CBHS meet St Andrews.
