This brief film is part of a collection that records a family from York's trips to the coast and countryside around North Yorkshire. The films were all shot by the Lord Mayor of York's son and are a child's view of these days before World War Two. This film of Bootham School on York's 'Old Scholars Cricket Match', opens with a long shot of the pitch and shows the cricket payers coming out of the club house in their full whites. There are some men watching from the side-lines. The team wander around the pitch for a while and then the camera shot changes to show the large crowd that has gathered on the side-lines to watch. The game begins.
