Chronicle-1965

UNDER 13 'A' It is a pleasure to record that this team made steady progress as its members began to have more faith in themselves and, conse quently developed a more positive outlook. Perhaps the most improved player in the side was Schachat whose enthusiastic batting and running between wickets often revitalised the side. Ofthe bowlers, Clarence always performed well and he could develop into a very good off-spinner. When Booth learns to pitch his leg-breaks and googlies up to the batsman, he will do well.
