The team was captained by Delport. Certain conditions for eligibility were enforced, which were that the players had to be in the sixth form and they had to attend practice regularly. The keynote was at alltimes on attacking cricket.The result was that very good cricket was played, the standard was high and the results outstanding. The players played as a team, and even when the 2nd XI made serious inroads into the XI, replacements were never difficult to find. Although, with this team, it is not the practice to single out individuals, mention must be made of Salmond's innings of 202 during the year, this innings taking only ICQ minutes. Other good batting performances were registered by Hipkin, Smillie, Baird and Myburgh. The bowling tended to be dominated by Myburgh but all other bowlers performed well generally. The fielding was always of a high standard, due to the enthusiasm of all the players.
