We were delighted to host the MCC at Taunton School this month, a prestigious cricket club based at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, and we were even more delighted when our 1st XI team managed to secure a win over them!

The MCC batted first on the morning of Thursday 9th May and were able to rack up a score of 89. Our team then took their opportunity to bat and were able to win the match by a brilliant five wickets! As well as this, student Thomas Ford was awarded the Spirit of Cricket Award for his participation and sportsmanship during the match.

A fantastic victory of which the students should be immensely proud.
