Rain stops play

CricketCropOver 60 members of the fluid structure interactions group attended the annual summer awayday at the Wide lane sports ground. As part of the event the annual staff-student cricket match took place although was rained off after the PhD students had made an impressive start with their batting especially given only their team captain had ever played cricket before they came to Southampton. The staff side fielded well and were ably assisted by some of the undergraduate summer interns some of whom had played cricket before! The afternoon started with an excellent BBQ provided by Uptons and it was disappointing that the rain came in at 4pm to curtail the game. This annual match has been played for well over three decades originating as a game between ship science staff and the 2nd year undergraduates but more recently has evolved into an opportunity for all staff and phd students to get together.
