Our Head Groundsman, John Old has been a great supporter of Pilgrims cricket during his 13 years at Sherborne. John has encouraged a whole generation of Pilgrims cricketers from elite Cricketer Cup sides through to the tyros playing in their first cricket week. It was therefore wholly appropriate that a large band of Pilgrims were present on The Upper to thank John following his last home Pilgrims fixture. President Hugh Archer made a presentation to John and thanked him for all he had done for the Club and wished him a long and happy retirement. Hugh also commented that he had never seen The Upper in such wonderful condition. In a touching reply, John included his favourite piece of advice to the young players surrounding him – ‘Keep playing Cricket!’ |

Welcome to the Sherborne Pilgrims website. |
|
 The Club was founded in 1923 with the objectives "to promote and encourage all forms of Old Shirburnian sport, and to keep members in touch with one another and with the School". This website is administered by the Club and was set up in April 2002. It is updated regularly and it is anticipated that the site will grow in accordance with the needs and wishes of the Club and its members.
The Club welcomes any suggestions, from any OS (or indeed any casual visitor to this website), for improvements, refinements and additions to the material herein. It is designed for ease of use and for ready access to information that should help to lessen the burden on those who administer Pilgrims sport. Please send all comments to me at:
