#RedForRuth at Sherborne Boys 4.0

Sherborne Boys will host its fourth annual Ruth Strauss Foundation Cricket Week in the final week of the Summer Term, and plans are already well-advanced for another festival of cricket.  RSF Cricket Week has quickly become well-established within the Sherborne calendar, with last year’s event raising a grand total of £6,081 for the Foundation, which means that the event has – so far – raised over £12,000 in three years.  We very much hope to add a significant amount to the pot this year, with the fundraising efforts supported by sales of souvenir brochures, a prize draw, and generous sponsorships from local businesses.

 

The curtain will be raised with Abbey House’s ‘Mums and Dads v Lads’ game on Sunday 14th June, before the week swings fully into action on Saturday 20th June with matches against Blundell’s.  On Sunday, Sherborne Prep plays Saltus Grammar School, Bermuda, alongside the 1st XI’s return fixture with Sherborne Pilgrims.  Monday sees a T10 Tournament, also involving Dauntsey’s and Millfield, before Sherborne Girls' inaugural fixture with MCC and the Bow House XI's evening T20 against Sherborne CC on Tuesday.  On Wednesday, the senior sides will host Waterkloof High School from Pretoria before the week – and the season – ends with the 1st XI’s traditional clash with MCC on Thursday 25th June.  A total of 15 fixtures across the week.

 

The prize draw again showcases many of Sherborne’s shops and food outlets, with a wide range of businesses generously donating prizes.  Meanwhile, our lead partners – Hummingbird and Mogers Drewett – have made particularly significant contributions, and will have a visible presence on The Upper throughout the week.

 

For more detail – both on the matches and on the wonderful work that the Ruth Strauss Foundation does in promoting cancer research and supporting families facing bereavement – do please keep checking out this site, where we will be posting regular updates.  MiC Cricket, Hugh Tatham, comments, “Do, please, join us on The Upper throughout the week: the sun will be shining (we hope!), some wonderful cricket will be played, and there will even be ice cream, courtesy of our good friends at Ecco Gelato.  Best of all, you can enjoy all of this with a good conscience, knowing that you are helping families in the toughest of circumstances.”

Sherborne Boys - Turn Cricket Red 2026

Our fourth annual Cricket Week will run from Saturday 20th to Thursday 25th June.  Come and join us on The Upper if you can...
