Cricket
Cricket at Malvern comes with a fantastic reputation that is the envy of many public schools, and a history that speaks volumes. Indeed, the Old Malvernians are consistently one of the best old boy sides in the country. This reputation comes from the intensely hard work that goes on at 'the chalk face' on virtually every afternoon of the working week. The school runs seven cricket teams; four junior teams and three senior sides, and boasts a very high level of coaching which is ably led by our professional, Tim Roberts who has represented Northamptonshire and Lancashire in his previous life. He brings huge enthusiasm for the game amongst the boys and it is no surprise that the results last year were outstanding. The 'Senior' is a cricket ground for even the purists to marvel at: With the Malvern Hills providing a magnificent backdrop, an outfield akin to the baize on a snooker table and a wicket that has the care of a test match ground, there is no doubt that this ground is second to none and can only inspire youngsters to play this beautiful game. To see the 1st XI in action on this ground is something to savour and with the close links that have been forged with Worcestershire CCC and the Academy, who will both use the indoor cricket school on the campus from 2009, the cricket at Malvern College is only going to go form strength to strength. Touring sides of all ages from around the world regularly come to play and it is not hard to see why they choose Malvern College as part of their itinerary.
