The prestigious David and Grace Sheppard Award has been given to Norlington School in Leyton. The price is awarded to schools that promote physical, social and emotional development through cricket. In addition to this honor, the price was handed over by no-one less than Graham Gooch, former Norlington pupil and ex-England cricket captain. The cricket did not only hand over the price but also gave some good piece of advise to the excited cricket players at Norlington School. “Whatever you do in your preparation you will take out onto the field, and in life.” He highlights that cricket is not only a great way to keep you healthy and happy, but it also teaches you life lessons.
