The School’s annual cricket matches against the MCC, took place on the main School cricket field, on Wednesday 17th June.

The MCC are a team of adults, some of whom have played to a very high level, and consist of some of our Old Birkonian's, who play against current pupils. We saw a couple of familiar OB faces for the MCC team being Madeleine Arthur a 2020 leaver, and Andy Birley a 1995 leaver.
