Malvern College Head Coach Noel Brett commented:
“The facilities at Desert Springs have again been first-class and it has been great to get some cricket before the season starts back home. Being able to play outside on the grass pitches has been invaluable and the players have enjoyed every minute. Thank you to Nick and the team for looking after us so well!”
The culmination of the camp saw Malvern College compete against St. John’s School in a competitive T20 Match at the Desert Springs Cricket Ground on Tuesday 16th April.
“The views were amazing which helped create an inviting atmosphere to enjoy a cricket tour. The beds were comfy, and all the staff were kind and chilled.
Overall it was such a fun and enjoyable visit.” Chloe Mackellar
“The rooms were nice with excellent views and welcoming staff.
The facilities were great to train in and I enjoyed the matches on the big ground.”
