As this term gets underway at Kenton, there are a few things to remember to bring to school:-
1. Suncream! It may not seem like it now, but it is going to be hot here in Nairobi- every child must wear suncream out on the sports field. Please ensure that your child has a tube in their bag.
2. Boxes- every child in Year 5 upwards who plays cricket with a hard ball must have their own box. This is for hygiene purposes. We have a simple rule in cricket Divs- 'no box, no batting.' Please make sure that your childs box is clearly named.

Never!! As parents are starting to think about their July and August long holiday plans, it would be a good idea to think about the items of cricket equipment a child needs at Kenton.
Every child must have their own box. This is for hygiene purposes.
Everything else the school can provide but, if you child is serious about cricket then they should ideally have their own:
Bat- a child should get used to playing with their own bat for every innings. The bat should not be too heavy. A good test for this is to stand with the left hand (right hand for left handers) at the top of the handle. You should then extend your arm straight down and try to hold the bat up parallel to the ground. Keep the arm straight, do not bend the elbow. If you cannot do this then the bat is too heavy.
Pads and Gloves- a child should get used to their fit and weight and feel comfortable in them. If they are uncomfortable because they always borrow a different pair then their innings is likely to end! ........

The Kenton 1st XV and U11 XII took on Pembroke yesterday at Home here in Nairobi.
The 1stXV had a real humdinger of a game. It could have gone either way, but in the end finished 17-15 to Pembroke. Great Rugby!
The U11 XII were not so good. They were comprehensively outplayed by Pembroke, who ran away with it for a 45-0 scoreline.

The award for good sportsmanship of the term goes to the Kenton 1st Boys Hockey team. When playing down on the astroturf in Nairobi, they were being beaten 5-0. We were awarded a goal. The boys looked around to see who had scored it. None of them had touched the ball in the 'D'. So, they informed the umpire that they had not touched the ball. Goal unawarded! We lost 6-0 in the end, but could hold our heads up high!
