We are delighted to welcome the descendants of the original Aboriginal XI cricket team to St Helen’s on Thursday 19th June (11am) in the Lounge.
This is a truly historic event as the 1868 Aboriginal team were the very first cricket team from Australia to visit and play in the UK, long before the official Australian team did.
They are bringing, by special permission of the Australian Cricket Board, the Mullagh Belt to show us. The belt is an annual award to the player of the match when the Australian National team play another national team on Boxing Day.
Everyone is welcome to join us for this historic visit and learn more about the team!
