OB Cricket
Old Berkhamstedians Cricket fixture vs School 1st X
In a time when Covid 19 seemed to be stopping everything in its tracks, it was something else that put a stop to completing the OBs fixture this year; the old foe that is the English Weather.

The OBs had assembled what was a rather talented squad, and one that really could have challenged the school 1st XI for the first time in a while. The OBs did manage to get their innings in however, before the rain came down, posting a rather modest total of 118-5 (Sam Masters 8, Jack Fosberry 15, Charlie Nicholls 11, Toby Lazeris 31, Milo Skelton 16, Lawrence Snookes 18* and Josh Barton 6*).
This, however, did not worry the OBs, who had brought along with them one of their strongest bowling attacks – it’s just a shame we never got to see them in action!
Rain stopped play after lunch and the match was abandoned. Spirits were still high as the OBs and 1st XI ended up playing their own mini game while the rain came down on the outfield – all finished off by what turned into a rather competitive training session from Mr Campbell with both squads!
OBs Squad: Josh Barton (Sp ’19), Larry Eaton (Ch ’09), Jack Fosberry (Re ’16), Toby Lazeris (Sc ’20), Charlie Nicholls (Ch ’17), Sam Masters (Ch ’14), Anna Nicholls (Ch ’16), Xavier Owen (Sc ’15), Robert Skelton (Milo) (Ch ’17), Lawrence Snookes (Na ’19) and Jamie Woodley (Sp ’18).
