Cricket

He is doing amazing and trials have started so we will know in the summer if he has managed to get a place in the Herts County cricket team. Freddie has also been put forward for the Herts District Cricket team and he has 2 trials in November to see if he gets a place in the District team. Watch this space - Freddie's dream is to become a pro cricket player like Freddie Flintoff. Well done Freddie. We look forward to hearing how you get on!
