TWENY-FIVE Royal Grammar School, Wor-cester, year ten, eleven and twelve cricketers leave for a two-week tour of Sri Lanka tomorrow.
Two teams will play six matches each against Sri Lankan schools on a trip that starts in the city of Colombo and moves onto the cultural centre of Sri Lanka, Kandy, and then to the remote areas of Dambulla and Sigiriya before returning to Mount Lavinia on the west coast.
As well as playing cricket, the party will be white-water rafting, visiting some of the historical temples and climbing the Sigiriya Rock Fortress.
Coach Phil Newport, the former Worcester-shire cricketer, toured Sri Lanka with England A', and says the boys will have to put up with hot and humid conditions as well as some possible interesting umpiring interpretations.
