After a restful sleep and a mercifully late wake up, we took the short journey to Cool Runnings Toboggan Park for a chance to slide down the mountain.

After a thorough safety brief, in which we were all reminded to lean into the corners, we boarded our toboggans and headed up the hill, and a happy couple of competitive hours were spent in trying to get the quickest time down the hill.

We then boarded the coach and headed off to our next, and last, fixture at the awe inspiring surroundings of Somerset College.

We won the toss and chose to bat first, with Nicholas Pennefather giving us the fast start we needed, and the Joshua Slaughter taking over with an effective 65, meaning that we closed the innings on an impressive 165 for 7.

This was always likely to be an imposing score, and despite some wayward bowling we restricted Somerset College to 126 for 4 at the end of their innings, claiming our second win of the tour.
