This may be partly attributable to the weather, which has frequently prevented much-needed match practice. Lapses in batting have been mainly due to a lack ofconcentration and a re'luctance to gttto the pitch ofthe ball. In bowling and f.e dmg there has been a marked improvement since the beginning of the year The team is not without ability and we look forward to some of its members making a useful contribution to the senior sides later on. J. Crewe has proved a competent captain, having been ably supported by B. \A/illiams and P. Reece. 322
