Dorset Primary School

What a great experience we had at Dorset! Sth Croydon CC offered a cricket clinic for all of our students on Tuesday August 12th at lunchtime. We had over 120 students participate in a variety of activities focussing on cricket skills such catching, striking and fielding. Steve from Cricket Victoria led the clinic along with a host of South Croydon Cricket Club representatives. They all provided a great deal of fun and engagement for all our energetic cricketers. There was even some Italian involved as we learnt how to use the YES, NO and WAIT commands in both English and Italian. It was a fantastic vibe with some music providing some more entertainment for us during the clinics. A big thanks to Jodi Wilkins who through her husband was able to organise the clinic for us.

The fun never ends at Dorset!
