Our Students are keen cricketers, and were thrilled when we were able to secure free tickets for the Armed Forces T20 Cricket Tournament at Lord's Cricket Grounds in St John's, Westminster.  

The stadium has capacity 
for 31,000 spectators!
 

Although the weather was overcast, it was surprisingly dry which allowed the students to enjoy a clear view of the Women's game between the MCC and Combined Armed Forces before the Men's game, Army vs Navy.

Most of the 23 students who attended had never been to the stadium before so it was lovely to see their faces as they took their first glimpse of the Pavilion and the hallowed turf of Lord's. 

Canons High's Cricket Fans!

During the day the students were also able to visit the famous Lord's museum, which is widely referred to as the "Home of Cricket" and has the world's oldest sporting museum collection. We also had a look round the training facilities and learned about careers in the UK armed forces.

The students were impeccably behaved during the day and it was a pleasure for Ms Emmerson, Mr Benstead and Mr Barrett to accompany them during the day.
