CRICKET Committee: The Headmaster, Mr. Medworth, C. Bazley (Captain), C. Balcomb, C. Boyd. With most of the side back this term, the team has gone from strength to strength. Unfortunately Groom and Robinson have not been able to play, otherwise the side would have been really formidable. Bazley has handled the team excellently and has obtained every ounce out of the side on the field. With Bazley able to bowl once again the attack has been strong. While the first five batsmen are good, the remainder are only now, late in the season, settling down to run-making. The reason may be that they have not often been called upon to retrieve the position, so rarely have the first batsmen failed. Bazley's excellent leadership and example, Boyd's improved all round form, Balcomb's second innings bowling feats and Foss' patience have been the most noted features of the season. The Under 14 side contains some promising youngsters, and, with plenty of match experience, they ought to turn out some good material for the future. The IJnder 12 side also contains good material, especially in the bowling department. It has been pleasing to note the keenness throughout the School at games and nets. The standard has never been higher, and augurs well for the future. To those six members who were selected to play for the Combined Coastal Schools, during Cricket Week in December we extend congratulations on their performances. Colours are awarded to C. Ballard. 3rd February. KEARSNEY v. MARITZBURC COLLEGE II. Away. Match Drawn. KEARSNEY.
