There are some notable alumni who have emerged from the strong
cricket tradition at Bolton School such as Duncan Worsley and
Jackie Bond but any perusal of the league cricket summaries in the
local press bears testimony to the value of the school to the
sporting communities around the North West.
The school benefits from some excellent practice facilities with
four indoor cricket lanes, two Bola machines, four outdoor all
weather nets, regular Saturday fixtures for six teams against
leading cricket schools in the North West as well as 1st
XI level matches against the M.C.C. and X.L. Club.
Indoor nets occur throughout the Spring Term and, in both these
sessions and in Sports lessons during the Summer Term, squad
players benefit from highly qualified L.C.B. coaches who have
worked with Test and County cricketers.
Recently Senior squad players enjoyed an inaugural tour to the
Caribbean playing six fixtures including one in the Test Match
arena in Grenada.
