DJS support the England Cricket Team!

On Friday, Mr Inns, Mrs Kember and several parents took 8 children to Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds.

Mr Inns (as part of an award for his Outstanding Services to Cricket) was asked to bring children to the England v Australia One Day International and play on the pitch at the innings break.

England emerged victorious and more importantly all the children managed to hit some massive sixes into the packed stands while the spectators munched on their sandwiches!

Mr Inns would like to thank the boys for their outstanding behaviour and all the parents who made this trip possible.

I am sure the girls would like to thank all the support from the usual supporters – well done everyone!
