TWELVE Under-15 cricketers from Queen’s College enjoyed a short trip to Rotterdam and Amsterdam, playing four matches against the Holland national team (a mix of cricketers between the Under-13 and Under-15 age group).

Although all of the games ended in defeat, a couple were very close.

Stand-out players from the matches included Tom Hazell and Fraser Caddick, while all of the pupils learned a lot through playing in different conditions and against different opposition.

On their day off, the tour party visited the Anne Frank House, Rijksmuseum and took a canal ride.
