Over the February Half Term, 17 Gresham’s pupils travelled to Sri Lanka on a Cricket Tour. It was the first time since 2019 the cricket club had toured and it was great to be back in Sri Lanka again.

The boys played eight matches whilst away in incredibly challenging conditions. The team travelled to three locations; Kandy, Colombo and Galle. The opposition schools were of high quality and provided excellent opportunities for our pupils to develop their game and hone their skills vs a range of spin bowling!

Whilst not playing, the boys visited a local tea factory and plantation, went to the Pinnawella Elephant Orphanage, released turtles into the sea one evening, and also visited the famous fortified city of Galle. The weather was beautiful and the tour a perfect balance between playing and sightseeing.
