Sherborne School Cricket Week 2025

The final week of June will see Sherborne School host its third annual Ruth Strauss Foundation Cricket Week, with a fundraising target of £5,000 for this wonderful charity. Alongside some thirty matches in five days, there will be a prize draw, sales of souvenir brochures and prints, a whole-school non-uniform day, and sponsorships from local businesses – all raising money to support research and bereavement counselling for families affected by cancer.

The week begins with four matches against Blundell’s School on Saturday 21^st June, followed on Sunday by the 1^st XI’s declaration game against the Sherborne Pilgrims. On Monday, it will be the turn of the Junior Colts sides before the 1^st XI returns to the fray on Tuesday against the Giles Reynolds XI: this game will also provide an opportunity to say farewell to our long-serving History teacher and former Housemaster, currently coaching the 1^st XI, as he heads off to India after 36 years at Sherborne. Wednesday is given over to the Jimmy Adams Prep Schools’ Tournament, before the evening sees the Bow House (staff) XI playing their final match of the term against Sherborne CC. Then, on Thursday 26^th June, the week comes to its climax as the 1^st XI closes its season in an all-day game against MCC. This will also be the occasion of the prize draw, during the afternoon tea interval.

MiC Cricket Hugh Tatham comments, “After a busy winter, which has seen Sherborne recognised in ‘The Cricketer’ magazine’s Top 100 schools as well as being chosen as a performance centre for Dorset Cricket, I am absolutely delighted that we will again be going Red for Ruth. Our Ruth Strauss Foundation Cricket Week has quickly become established as one of the highlights of the season, and this year’s will be a real community affair. Do join us on The Upper to support this wonderful cause.”
