This year did not disappoint as the boys played against representatives of the Grenada national team and boys who have experienced playing for the Windward Islands. Despite some tough competition, the boys ended up winning all four of their fixtures, two of which went right down to the final over.

Fixtures in unforgiving heat tested the boys’ physical toughness; quality opposition put technique under scrutiny; whilst close fixtures tested the mental resolve of the young men. It is pleasing that through all of this, the boys maintained their focus and composure. This was never more apparent with the application of the batsmen, such as Jamie Dunk and Ewan Hughes Rowlands, who spent large amounts of time at the crease. Similarly, the effort put in by bowlers in such conditions, notably Lewis Green and Will Campion, was very impressive. Indeed the focus was apparent right through to the end of the final game, where Harry Vesty took a very challenging catch on the boundary to take the wicket of St. Andrew’s centurion R. Mitchell.

Outside of cricket, the boys embarked in a number of additional experiences; sailing around the island on a catamaran, learning about the country’s history and spice trade, trekking up to Seven Sister’s waterfalls, as well as meeting Grenada’s national hero, athlete Kirani James, before watching international track and field at the National Athletics Stadium.

The tour saw the boys grow in confidence as cricketers, as well as mature as young adults. It was a pleasure to work with them throughout, and I look forward to our domestic season ahead.
