Join us to watch the annual match between MCC and Eastbourne College 1st XI on College Field followed by a match tea at 4.15pm in the Pavilion. Drinks will be followed by a three-course dinner in the College function rooms (£35 per person). 

Guest speakers: Nick Wilton, Eastbourne College's newly appointed cricket professional and Matilda Callaghan, Director of Cricket at Eastbourne College.

Nick played for Sussex County Cricket Club as a wicket keeper and batsman before moving into a fifteen-year career with the 160-year-old cricket company Gray Nicolls, where he worked with international cricketers. Nick is currently also a coach at Kent County Cricket Club and works as a consultant for West Indies Cricket. He brings a wealth of experience in coaching different age groups.

As a player for Essex County Cricket Club’s Women’s team and having previously played for England U16s, Matilda has an impressive cricket CV. In 2021 she became the first woman to play in the Surrey Men’s Premier League, while her performances for Essex Women last summer meant she was awarded their 2022 Player of the Year.
