Pupils from a school in Dover enjoyed a day to remember as they travelled to Lord’s to compete at the Lord’s Taverners National Table Cricket Finals Day.

Elms School were one of 10 teams who fought their way through regional competitions to win a place at Finals Day, held inside the Nursery Pavilion at the Home of Cricket.

Schools competing were from across the country, with Lord’s Taverners president and Tunbridge Wells-born cricket legend David Gower and England and Surrey bowler Reece Topley in attendance.

For assistant head teacher Emily Mount, it proved incredibly special to bring the children to Lord’s. She said: “I don’t think the kids realised how amazing it was going to be until they got here and saw the stadium - they were quite shocked by how big it is and where they were playing. “It’s such an iconic venue.
