History in the tournament

The

-
This
is the first year that the schools is a focus school so when they lost to St
Andrews they had another avenue to progress.

Prospects for the Coca-Cola T20
Schools Challenge National Finals
-
The team is aware that it is going to be a tough
tournament for them.
-
They don’t play teams like King Edward VII School in
their normal fixtures so they are looking forward to playing against them in
their first match.
-
They would love to emulate what Hudson Park did in
2017 where they came into the tournament as a focus school and ended up coming
second.
-
It is gong to be a great experience for the boys and
they will get to test themselves against the very best in the tournament.
