The Cricketer Cup First Draw
Sunday, 12 June 2011Old Brightonians 103 for 3, lost to Oundle Rovers 104 for 3.
Despite the drought of the early summer, the day of the first round of the Cricketer Cup dawned with rain, that wet sort of rain that continues all day. Undaunted by the wet conditions, eleven Old Brightonians travelled to Oundle for the fixture. It was decided by both teams that only a ten over match in the rain was possible, not ideal but a better alternative to replaying the game the following weekend.

Brighton College Cricket Report
Tuesday, 10 May 20111st XI beat Sussex Martlets
On Sunday 17th April the College 1st XI cricket side took on the Sussex Martlets as their season opener. The College got off to a good start with an opening stand of 188 between Eswar Kalidasan and Yass Bahemou. Excellent running between the wickets from Hugh Richards and a quick fire 20 off 13 balls from Jethro Menzies led to a competitive total of 270 for 4 being set. The Martlets seemed comfortable against the College seam attack and so the spinners were brought into the attack. The left arm spin of Billy Meboroh-Collinson was the turning point of the innings as he took 3 for 48 and this spell was followed up by Harry Klus who kept the pressure on and took 4 for 20. The college won by 45 runs.

Memories of Old Brightonian Cricket
Wednesday, 16 February 2011
In 1969 the Old Brightonians were invited to take part in the Public Schools knockout competition run by the Cricketer and sponsored by Mercier Champagne. Nobody expected very much from us. We had a good side but not a great one, but we did have self belief and enthusiasm. The first match was against the favourites, the Old Tonbridgians. This was the closest game we played. With the scores equal we won through to the next round, having lost fewer wickets.
Thereafter things got much easier, the team went from strength to strength and we sailed through to the final, at Burton Court , near the Chelsea Baracks, against the Stowe Templars where we won in a canter. The reward was a lovely weekend in Epernay courtesy of the Mercier family. It was our equivalent of winning the Ashes. No OB side has reached the final since then, and the OB`s are currently twelth in the order of merit. The winning team was Tony Lush, captain, Brian Parsons, Richard Smyth, Derek Pickering, Ian and David Lock, Warwick Sabey, Peter Lush, Sandy Farrar. Adrian Harland and Mike Rowland.
