What a glorious afternoon - perfect for three games of cricket for the Lower School against Highdown School! Great to see all cricket squares in use across New Field and Front Field, as well as tennis being played on the grass courts. #ShiplakeCricket#ShiplakeTennis
Our senior cricketers have been hard at work this week (when the weather has allowed!) on the cricket square, but not as you'd expect! Here they are on a 'raking exercise' to ensure that it is in pristine condition for the upcoming #ShiplakeCricket season! #ShiplakeInspirational
When observing coaches, some people mistake quietness for incompetence & loudness for efficiency. Don't underestimate quiet coaches as they can be deep thinkers, self-aware & rational decision-makers. Each coach is different & should be judged by their impact, not their volume!👀
