We are a Royal-Thomian collaboration, and it’s the spirit of these two schools which drives us, and come March there is nothing more on anyone’s mind other than the Big Match. The Big Match is a scheduled event in every Royalist and Thomians calendar-that is by default. It is a tradition which in its own unique way unites people through rivalry. Unbroken for over a century, this is not merely another cricket match. While schoolboy cricketers are vying to be part of this great tradition, those who have trodden the same path in yester year look back in pride at their accolades on the field and cherish fond memories that have lasted them a lifetime. Our Big Match edition of The Review is aimed to give you a better understanding of this long standing tradition.
