Holywood entered 2 teams into the tournament with a total of 18 boys representing the school in the cricket squad. The teams competed in 2 groups against teams from Sullivan Prep, Campbell, Gilnahirk and The Barbarians (a team put together using players from other schools).
The boys did themselves and their school proud with their attitude and sportsmanship throughout the course of the tournament! There was a high standard of cricket being played and the matches were closely contested, competitive and played in a good spirit.
