An ex England cricketer paid a visit to Brymore Academy to inspire the boys with sporting experience.

Alex Tudor, former England and Surrey cricketer, ran a session with the students.

Alex worked with the year nine and 10 cricketers to help them with their technical skill, including catching, throwing, bowling and batting.

This was followed by a question and answer session where students learnt that his inspirations were players like Curtly Ambrose and Sir Vivian Richards and that the best player on the opposition in any game he played was Shane Warne.

A few boys toured Alex around the school, showing him highlights such as the working farm and one acre walled garden. to which he said he was most impressed about.
