The 2018 edition of this long-standing fixture, first played in 1886, ended with the home team hot on attack , and the last two OBHS batsmen at the crease.

1st XI Cricket

OBHS 1st XI had a hard fought but pleasing draw against Christ's. After losing the first morning due to rain we bowled first restricting them to 156/5 declared.

Mitchell Sims was the pick of our bowlers. We then scored 97/3 before declaring in order to advance the game. Josh Kellett scoring 30. In the second innings, Christ's declared on 157/6 leaving us a target of 217. 

After batting aggressively we were 44 runs short 9 wickets down. Thomas Harding scoring 52 and Max Meffan 30. 

A pleasing hit out all in all.
