Our champion cricketers
Our U15 girls are Sussex Indoor Cricket Champions 2014.
28 schools from across the county entered the Lady Taverners Under 15 Indoor Cricket Tournament – the biggest field of entries to date. Oathall Community College’s team of 10 prevailed at the county final with a consistently strong showing in all three rounds of play.
They will now go forward to represent Sussex at the regional finals of the tournament on Thursday 3 April in Surrey.
