Tommy Pritchard (2010) and Anne Smithson
A highlight in the OA Club's social calendar is the annual Twenty20 Cricket Tournament, hosted at School by the OA Club in memory of Gerald Smithson - Abingdon's first professional cricket coach and groundsman.
The event brings together the whole of the School's cricketing community. Teams of OAs, current pupils, parents and members of staff pit their skills against each other in a whole day of sport on War Memorial Field - where Gerald's ashes were scattered.
The next tournament takes place on Sunday 24 June 2012. It's not too early to register your interest. If you're available to play, please contact the OA Office by e-mail of phone on 01235 849074. Spectators are also warmly encouraged to attend.
