Our much-anticipated Cricket Week is finally here and will run from Sunday 29 June to Wednesday 4 July at St Lawrence College. This annual tradition is always well attended and features a vibrant atmosphere, with great food, a wide range of drinks (both alcoholic and non- alcoholic), and, of course, plenty of high-quality cricket. th th The week opens on the Sunday with the always-popular fixture: SLC 1st XI vs Old Lawrentians XI. Full timings for the week’s events can be found later on in this programme. We are set for a busy four days with eight matches across four different SLC teams. In addition to Sundays SLC v OL declaration match, we are also hosting another exciting match: an Old Lawrentian vs Old Lawrentian T20 game. but there will also be a number of current SLC pupils playing as well. That Sunday will be more than just a day of sport. For those who may not be aware, Mr Tom Moulton, our Deputy Head, will be retiring at the end of this term after an incredible 33-year career, amounting to 99 terms of service at the College. To mark this extraordinary milestone, the theme of the day will be “99 Not Out”.
We’ll be celebrating Mr Moulton’s legacy with speeches, gifts, and shared memories in the Cricket Week marquee at 13:00. All Old Lawrentians, parents, and friends of the College are warmly invited to attend. Entry is free, as is the food provided throughout the day. The only cost will be at the bar, which will be open until 22:00. We have also extended the OL day by including Old Lawrentian tennis matches against our current senior teams.
Whether or not you’re playing, we would love to see as many Old Lawrentians as possible return for this special occasion. It’s a fantastic opportunity to reconnect, enjoy some great sport, and celebrate Mr Moulton’s outstanding contribution to St Lawrence College. Last year’s event saw over 100 attendees, and with this year’s tribute, we’re expecting an even bigger and more memorable day.
Looking beyond the Summer Term Old Lawrentian event on Sunday 29 June, th we will also be hosting more Old Lawrentian sports events run throughout the year.
