A thriving cricket program becomes more than simply sport. Cricket teaches pupils invaluable life skills like respect, resilience and discipline. My goal is that every child reaches their full potential and feels a sense of pride when leaving Hurstpierpoint, not only as cricketers but as mature and independent individuals full of purpose and ambition.
