the Lord’s Cricket Ground. Jordan will also work at the Lord’s ground while in England. Another player, Hamish, has taken up an opportunity as a gap tutor and cricket coach at St George’s Weybridge in Surrey, England. During his time at the school, Hamish is coaching cricket, tennis, and golf. When not working, he is playing for three cricket clubs, including Weybridge CC, Windsor CC, and London New Zealand CC. Meanwhile, Ben, Jordan, Nick, Matthew, Ciaran Huntley, Matt, Rob McClean, Tim, and Ollie Shore have all featured in the Christchurch Metro Years 11–12 team. College Colours have been awarded to Matt, Rob, Harry
Sharr, George, and Matthew, and re-awarded to Tim, Nick, Ollie, Ben, Ciaran, and Jordan. Several players have taken up university sports scholarships in 2023 following a remarkable team innings and bowling spell over the past five years and many now feature in senior club cricket, reflecting the ongoing impact of the flourishing Christ’s College cricket programme. Master-in-Charge of Cricket Stephen Dods describes the Gillette Cup-winning team as “first-class”, acknowledging that “each player has contributed to the total throughout the season and over the years”. “The potential of this group of boys was soon identified when we realised we had a very talented
bunch of youngsters with the right mix of skills to complement individual achievements and aspirations,” he explains. “With coaches Keryn Ambler and Ryan McCone calling the shots and setting the game plan, we believed we had a winning combination and soon set our sights on the Gillette Cup. Last summer, all the boys well and truly stepped up to the crease.” The Christ’s College 1st XI team: Nick Gibb (captain), Ben Breitmeyer (vice-captain), Jordan Braithwaite, Ed Cochran, Hamish Falls-Anderson, Tom Harrison, Matt Hocquard, Ciaran Huntley, Matt Lewis, Rob McClean, George Ryan, Harry Sharr, Tim Seeto, and Ollie Shore.
