THE TEAMS
We are recruiting for:
TIME FOR TEA
No cricket match is complete without the proper trimmings. Following the final wicket, players and supporters are invited to join us for a classic cricket tea in the Pavilion. It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the winners and dissect the highlights (or lowlights) of the game.
GIVING BACK
The event is free to attend, but we are inviting optional player donations on the day. All proceeds will go directly to the Ashford School Association, supporting the school's ongoing community initiatives and fundraising for the school's charity, the Ashford School Foundation.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Fair Play: In the spirit of the game, the match will be umpired internally by the teams.
Safety: First aid coverage will be provided by designated members within the playing teams and attending trained school staff.
