Personally it was football or nothing for me. We did have one PE teacher who was known for playing nothing but Cricket, the nearest we got was being put into teams of three (batsman, bowler and fielder) then using a traffic cone as wickets on a Redgrar pitch!
Sadly, the teacher left so that’s the only Cricket we ever played in Secondary school, a real shame as I regret not trying it out again although at the time I wasn’t too fussed. My Dad loves his Cricket as he played it during the Football close season to relax from the slog of a semi-pro football season. It’s something I wished I could have done, as a lad I’d go with him and his team all over the Black Country on hot summer afternoons.
Did you go to King Edwards in Stourbridge then Minn?

Renowned for their rugby between the 50’s and late 80’s.
