24.01.2022 Turramurra High School Knockout Cricket has been on the up for a number of years and the 2019/20 season was something to be truly celebrated. The THS team won 8 straight games and progressed through to the NSWCHS Semi Finals, where they were to take on previous champions, Kirrawee High School. Unfortunately, due to COVID the finals series was cancelled and resulted in all 4 teams being presented with joint NSWCHS gold medals. A formal celebration of the team's achievement was unable to be held, however, Mr Delves caught up with 3 members of the leadership group to recap an amazing year and an unforgettable journey. https://drive.google.com//1XQG1TtOMRl7Ri9mex3SuWCE0U/view
