Sawyer as the most improved bowler. Railton Foss too is thanked for the Foss bat awarded to D.Morgan as the mostimproved cricketer. Denis Barker is thanked for his donation offertilizer which is being used on the cricket oval. Our appreciation goes to the matrons who have so willingly co operated in our extensive fixture list. Last but not least, thank you, Mr. Best, for the comprehensive fixture list, and for the cheerful way in whicyhou have fulfilled your duties as cricket organiser. We have felt deeply the passing of Jimmy the driver. For many years he has transported teams for us, and was well liked by all. 1st XI The boys of the 1st XI under the keen leadersohfip Alistair Hipkin have done a good job in putting Kearsney further on the cricketing map. This has not come from natural ability alone, but by continuous practice and hard work. This holds too for many other divisions. We have not yet, however,reached the standard of play which we aim at. We must approach the game in a more posi tive and aggressive manner. Our congratulations to; A. Hipkin for the record number of runs by a Kearsney boy in a year(1,419); D.Morgan and A.Hipkin for the best opening partnership by the school(159 vs. Alexandra High).
