During their stay, they enjoyed games of cricket and football in the school’s field. It was the perfect venue to enjoy such games as well. Due to the fact that the school is located in the middle of the countryside, they just stayed in the school’s dorm for the duration of his stag do.

A Boys’ Night in and Sleepover
