title, a fantastic achievement with entries coming from right across the UK and Eire.
Rugby and cricket remain foci of
excellence and the conveyer belt of talent rolling off the college’s playing fields proves the point. Charlie Matthews represented England at U18 level and is currently playing for Harlequins, with Wales and Biarritz Olympique rugby player Ben Broster and Northampton winger Noah Cato two more recent protégés; Matt Machan (Sussex CCC) and Martin Speight (Sussex, Durham and Northumberland) are just two examples of cricketing alumni.

In Neil’s own words, the students are “blessed” with opportunities for sport. No fewer than sixty of the 140 acres making up the estate are devoted to sport and use of the land is increasing steadily as the popularity of minor sports grows and the number of students wanting to participate expands. The College is rightly proud of its ‘sport for all’ policy and fields many C, D and even E teams, so that any pupil who wants to play for the College will have the opportunity to do so at some point. With rugby and cricket still the priority, though, the two take up the lion’s share of the school’s sporting facilities, with
fifteen preparatory and senior rugby pitches in total. Cricket dominates the summer calendar and the first team square lays claim to once being the largest in the UK, the length of which has been reduced to accommodate the need for a larger boundary today. Even with that reduction, the longest
square for first team cricket measures in excess of 100m, with a total of thirty wickets prepared by Neil and the team for school use. In addition, the cricketing provision includes a further six grass practice nets and three artificial wickets that are found next to the groundsman’s yard.
