On Wednesday 22nd April, the Wickersley School 1st XI played their annual fixture against the Marylebone Cricket Club, one of the most prestigious cricket clubs in the world and the former governing body of the sport.
The match took place at Wickersley OVCC, where MCC chose to bat first. Wickersley made an early impact with A Berry taking two wickets, but MCC went on to score 269 before declaring.
In response, Wickersley showed great resilience throughout the afternoon, eventually being bowled out in the final over of the day. There were some excellent individual performances, with J Wilkes scoring 91 and earning the Spirit of Cricket award from the MCC captain. I Wilkes contributed 35 runs, while O Milnes added a quick-fire 40 towards the end of the innings.
A fantastic effort from all players involved – well done!
