Six pupils recalled their life stories, which are recorded in Dr. Eric McPherson’s book, Remembered With Honour which recalls all those Old Boys that lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.

  • Lancashire CCC Vs Sussex CCC Specsavers County Championship, Division Two Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester Saturday 13Th – Monday 15Th July 2019
    Lancashire CCC vs Sussex CCC Specsavers County Championship, Division Two Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester Saturday 13th – Monday 15th July 2019 Day One Lancashire ended day one of their Division Two match against Sussex in a strong position after bowling their visitors out for 127 and then making 149 for one in reply. Matthew Parkinson collected a career-best six for 23 from 15.2 overs and Glenn Maxwell picked up four for 41 on the weekend when he hoped to be playing in a World Cup final. Alex Davies then made 72 before becoming the only Lancashire wicket to fall and Keaton Jennings was unbeaten on 53 at the close, by which time Lancashire were already well on the way to building a winning position. But this total dominance was in sharp contrast to the first 80 minutes of play, in which Phil Salt and Varun Chopra had put on 77 runs in 19 overs before Sussex lost five wickets for 11 runs in a dramatic collapse on a used pitch. Any discomfort Salt and Chopra encountered against Lancashire’s seamers had to be balanced against some fluent strokeplay and Sussex had seemed poised to make very good use of winning the toss when Salt, on 40, swept Maxwell to Josh Bohannon at deep square leg. Chopra was lbw to leg-spinner Parkinson for 32 and one of Sussex’s struggles begun. Maxwell then took a good caught and bowled off Luke Wells, who made five, the same score Stiaan van Zyl had managed when he edged Parkinson to Rob Jones at first slip.
