Saint Felix School in Southwold took part in two coach and view days at Essex County Cricket Club last week.  On Wednesday 29th April, 16 boys from the Junior school attended and on Friday 1st May it was the turn of 26 pupils in years 7-9 to enjoy the day.  The day consisted of two hours expert coaching the Ashwell Graham Gooch Cricket Centre, followed by lunch and then an opportunity to watch the county championship game between Essex and Kent.  There was lots of good cricket played and many big names such as Alistair Cook, Geraint Jones and James Foster were playing.  The Junior School children were also fortunate enough to meet some of the players during the tea break on Wednesday. 

It is hoped that the day will help to kick-start a very busy term of cricket fixtures for all five teams.  The Junior School hope to play 15 fixtures against many of the other independent school in the area.
