We had a fantastic day out on 18th June at Bournville Village Cricket Club 🏏

Pupils from Green Meadow Primary School joined children from The Meadows and Hillstone Primary School for a fun-filled day of cricket, teamwork and learning.

Delivered as part of our Primary Partnerships Programme with the support of the Warwickshire Cricket Foundation, the activities helped build confidence, skills and a real love for the game.

It was great to see everyone getting involved, supporting each other and enjoying such a positive experience together 👏

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special!
