Repton Pilgrims

Repton School 1st Class cricketers

Some will have seen James Ross's comprehensive list of 1st class cricketers that have been a Repton. Few schools do better, probably only Eton and Harrow, but facts about Harrow seem a bit sketchy. Oundle for instance have never had an England player while Repton has had 10 and one South African test player. Click here to download all the information about the 132 1st class players the school has produced as a PDF. The content below is to help you search the site for information you might require.
