Played cricket against Millfield a few times for various teams. Home and away. Saw my first ever Aston Martin parked next to their pitch. Turns out it belonged to a teacher. Mind boggling facilities, as you’d expect for 50k p/a.
Most memorable game was when our state school got drawn against them in the national schools cup. They turned up to our ground in a huge coach swankier than any professional teams I had ever seen.
Their coaches/staff starting unloading these massive metal chests full of isotonic drinks and gels and whatnot. We were thirteen and none of us had ever seen anything like it.
Immediately knew we were going to get our arses handed to us. And we certainly did! We were a decent side as well, Welsh schools champions at the time.
