Merchiston Castle's opening batsman plays a confident stroke.

Watson's team soon learnt to place their fielders around the boundary while he was at the crease.

Three Matches

Merchiston Castle's Summer Term Program lists two cricket matches against Watson's on Merchiston Castle School's grounds on the morning of 1 June  2013:  U15A and U14A.

Merchiston Castle School won both matches.  Is it the 'U15A' match that I photographed here?

There was also a 1XI game between the two schools in the afternoon, but  i did not stay for the whole afternoon, so I don't know the results of that match.
