Rounders

A favourite of the entire school, enjoyed by many, as a hark back to the age old tradition of games that can be watched while sipping Pimms. Often played in the summer months when the PE teachers disappear off to France (on the pretence of visiting some sort of school competition), when other teachers are pressed into service to supervise PE. Mr Gray and Mr Haycocks are just some of the teachers unlucky enough to have this opportunity in the past.

Mat Rounders

Mat rounders is smiliar to rounders, but it can only be played inside. Four mats are set up around the Sports Hall and these act as bases. You can have as many people as you want on a base, but it's best to not have everyone run at once, as if the fielding team catch the ball, then everyone who ran is out. You are also out if the bowler has hold of the ball when you are inbetween bases. What generally ends up happening is someone will whack the ball, and most of the team will run, only for the ball to bounce off the ceiling and be caught by the bowler, resulting in most of the team getting out. This means to two or three unfortunate people who are left in will have to continue the game on their own, getting no break between running and batting.
