What is your fondest memory of your time at Rokeby, and why does it stand out to you?
The cricket tour to India in March-April 2024 was a memorable experience. It was amazing to experience the sights, sounds, chaos and culture of a country that is so different. Playing cricket with local teams was brilliant but also challenging in the 38- degree heat. There were so many highlights and funny moments during the trip – I will never forget it!
