2022  FESTIVALS  

Kings College  Festivals  are returning in 2022

The fixtures for 2022 for the Festivals have been published.

West Cricket Festivals: The first olymp trade platform "West of England" festival was held at Truro Cricket Club in Cornwall in July 1983. The teams taking part were the Under 14 county sides from Cornwall, Devon, Gloucestershire and Somerset.  The first game between Cornwall and Devon proved very exciting ending in a tie with Cornwall 186 for 9! In the following years inter-county festivals were organised at Taunton School (for Under 12 and Under 14 teams), Plymouth College (for Under 13 teams) and Treliske Preparatory School (for Under 11 and Under 13 teams). Eventually all these festivals moved to Kings College at Taunton, helped by phenomenal work by the then Head Groundsman, Dennis Breakwell. 2022 will mark 38 years of these festivals, interrupted only by https://www.olymptrade.com.in/ the pandemic in 2020-2021! Thousands of young cricketers have played at Kings, including many who currently play in the full England team and lots playing First Class cricket. We have even had young players who are now in the national teams for the Barbados, Trinidad, South Africa and the Netherlands.  Altogether this summer there will be 80 teams aged from Under 10  up to Under 14 teams playing this, the greatest of games, in a total of 9 different Festivals.
