Festival proves a success
Bath Chronicle
|July 03, 2025
The Mayor of Bath, Councillor Professor Bharat Pankhania, joined celebrations at Lansdown Cricket Club to mark the its 200th anniversary in style, as all 12 secondary schools in Bath came together for the very first time in a citywide Festival of Cricket.
-
Held at Lansdown’s historic Combe Park ground, the all-day event was the brainchild of Oldfield School head teacher Andy Greenhough and brought together almost 100 boys and girls from across Bath.
In a landmark collaboration, joint teams were formed by pupils from both state and independent schools, playing a series of round-robin fixtures in the summer sunshine.
The Festival was generously sponsored by Goughs Solicitors and Mainly Media, and supported by 12 schools in the city - a feat believed to be a unique moment in Bath's sporting history.
Players were cheered on by special guest Mollie Robbins, Somerset Women’s County cricketer, who also helped oversee the matches.
