Cricket at Mount House Cricket at Mount House is the main summer sport with all boys having at least two or three sessions per week plus regular access to the nets during their free time.

The Junior boys (Under 8 + 9's) play pairs cricket where all the boys are required to bat and bowl. They start by using a 'windball' and progress on to a hardball as they develop their skills. They have three or four fixtures against other schools mainly in the second part of the term.

The Colts age group (Under 11) play mainly eleven a-side matches with the occasional pairs hardball match. This age group have fixtures on most Wednesdays throughout the term.

The older boys only play eleven a-side hardball cricket, with again regular matches on Wednesday afternoons; some of these matches are limited overs and some are the traditional 'time' matches where declarations and draws are possible.

In recent years we have had a number of players represent the Devon Cricket Board at various age levels from U.9's to U.13's. These elite players have then played regular matches throughout the summer against other counties.
