The Cricketer is delighted to announce its ‘best of’ list for secondary education, entitled The Playing Fields of England: An A-Z Guide To The Summer Game’s Top 100 Schools 2017.
This is the second year we have published this supplement, enclosed with The Cricketer, after a successful inaugural year in 2016.
The publication of this top 100 follows an exhaustive process that saw more than 250 schools enter submissions for inclusion.
All were matched against an exhaustive set of coordinates, with the schools chosen having outstanding cricket programmes. The definitive list can be seen in the notes to editors below.
“This is a celebration of the best of school sport, the grounds, the facilities, the coaching, the fixture lists and the general commitment to getting those blighters on the field to play a semblance of the game that has characterised England and Englishness for more than three centuries,” says The Cricketer editor Simon Hughes.
