At the end of May, on a beautiful Friday evening, the annual OOs vs First XI returned to Doncaster Close.

It was wonderful to welcome back 12 OO Cricketers to Oakham School for our T20 fixture.

The OOs won the toss, choosing to bat first and setting a target of 179 runs. Our First XI went out to bat, with the game going to the final couple of overs, with the First XI claiming the win. The evening ended with drinks and sandwiches for all those that came back to play.

Thank you to all the players who made the effort to travel, giving us a memorable evening of Cricket.

The OO First XI consisted of:

• Fabian Taylor (’08)
• Joe Cuthbert (’08)
• Joe Johnson (’23)
• Ollie Clarke (’24)
• Will Howard (’24)
• James Firmin (’97)
• Charlie Wood (’87)
• David Webb (’87)
• Spencer Sheppard (’13)
• James Tattersall (’21)
• Nathan Shaw (’21)
• Will Bland (’21)

A huge thank you to Fabian Taylor (’08) and Joe Cuthbert (’08), our Cricket Captains who have helped build our OO Cricketing Society. If you are interested in joining our Cricket Society, you can do so via The Oakhamian Connection.
