Soham Grammar School headmaster Mr Edward Armitage and Robert Wiseman compare bats before the start of the Staff v Short-trousered boys cricket match at the school last Thursday*.For this traditional end-of-term match, which dates back about fifteeen years, the masters play with special narrow bats while their opponents are not allowed a run-up.
The masters won by one wicket. Afterwards the boys were entertained to a strawberry tea and enjoyed a treasure hunt.
* the reverse of the cutting refers (fragment only) to the School's performance of HMS Pinafore, which took place on 20-22 July, so this match could have been on Thursday 20 July. Robert Wiseman played the role of Little Buttercup!
