U15s returned to @FOGoodness this morning and were able to help out in English and Computer lessons, as well as with a SEN class. The whole group engaged so well with the pupils and really enjoyed the experience.

U18s were on the receiving end of a sensational innings, as FoG Academy amassed 218/3. Archie the pick of the bowlers with 2-19. Seb (45) and James (22) got things going with Amaar (36) and Will (21) following up. But even Stan’s eventful 44* off 17 wasn’t enough for the win.

U15s returned to the MCC ground for a T20. Cam and Ollie took a brace each, Freddy and Sam a wicket apiece and Casper added a run out. Chasing 175 was daunting. Freddy got 21 before Ben (28) and Bear (33) did their best to get close.

U15s faced strong opposition on Thursday, coming second in both games. Felix and Isaac passed 30 with contributions from Freddy and Aditya too but scoring was tough against good bowlers. Ray picked up 2-7 in the first game, with Ollie and Isaac getting one apiece in the second.

Both squads enjoyed their humbling trips to @FOGoodness So good to see how the foundation supports their community and the boys enjoyed the chance to engage with some pupils in a lesson too. Thank you for letting us squeeze in a training session too!

U15s won a tight game on the final ball at Lyceum School on the back of 50s for Felix and Isaac. Isaac and Aditya picked up a brace of wickets each. The coaches enjoyed the pre-match net with some of the school children joining in, who were eager to pick up any coaching tips.

U18s have visited the elephants today at Pinnawela and then dropped into a Tea factory to see the process and enjoy a cuppa. We’ve enjoyed our time in Colombo and now transition South.

On Sunday, on their rest day, the u15s visited the elephants at Pinnawela. They might have purchased some local kit too, on our trip into Colombo on Saturday evening before a chance to hear former SL cricket star Aravinda de Silva speak!
