Canterbury - Kent


Preperation on Birley's Field.



Ruins of the Old Abby with the Cathedral in the backgrond.

A jog (and a few cobweb releasing sprints) to start the day in Kemmel before a bus trip back to Calais to catch the ferry across the English Channel was uneventful until we lost one of the tour party at customs! Chris (Caleo) managed to hitch a ride with some passing Poms and rejoined us prior to boarding the ‘Pride of Canterbury’. Kings School Canterbury is amazing, founded in 0597AD the School is integrated into the same precinct as the Cathedral surrounded by well preserved ancient buildings as well as medieval ruins. The oldest School in England! An afternoon practice on the magnificent Birley’s Field before our boys retired to various boarding houses with their hosts. Game one awaits, against a school with a great reputation who currently have their best team in decades. We will need to be at the top of our game, but the boys are primed and ready. We shall see what we shall see. We shall play what is in front of us and we shall never lie down!
