Our Senior 'A' Team was narrowly beaten by D.H.S. where Old Boy R.Bouman has taken over the training. Lee and Lindegger shared honours with Maynard of D.H.S. for top score. Our 'B' Team came 4th. In the Junior Section our 'A' Team romped home, bringing back the Milner Smyth Shield once again. In this competition Prince was the highest individual scorer. The Junior'B'Team came 3rd,i point behind Glenwood 'A'. A large number of boys trained to take S.A.L.S.S. awards, but were let down by the Life Saving Society who could not send judges at the last minute. Water polo is normally played only in the 4th term but when Potchefstroom Boys' High sent a team to Natal we played them at very short notice and were just beaten. Colours: Congratulations to the following on being awarded team colours for 1965: Lee, Lindegger, Reeves, Jollands, Nightingale, Bester and Hemphill. J. W.S. CRICKET 1st XI A SOUND start has been made to the year. Hipkin and Morgan are to be congratulated on their record-breaking stand of 159 for the first wicket against Alexandra. The 4th XI have done well, and the Under 15'A'must be commended on their fine win against the powerful Hilton Colts team. 6.2.65 v5. Maritzburg College Home Maritzburg won the toss and elected to bat on a good wicket. The Kearsney bowling was tight and the scoring slow. At 3 p.m. they declared the innings closed at 174 for 6. Morgan bowled very steadily to take 5 for 35 in 16 overs. Kearsney then batted,and after a good opening stand of46 by Morgan(40)and Campbell (16), the inexperience of our side was evident. Albers ended with the excellent figures of 5 wickets for 2 runs in 11 overs. Result: Kearsney lost by 93 runs. 13.2.65 v5. Alexandra High School Home Surprisingly Kearsney won the toss for the only time this season, and Morgan and Hipkin revelled in the hard wicket. Our first wicket fell at 159,a school record, with Morgan out for 70. Hipkin (103 not out) and Campbell (21 not out) hurried the score along to 205 for 1 wicket when we declared. Alexandra started confidently, but with the total at 62 for 3 Morgan (3 for 22) and Sommerville (5 for 22) took command. Our opponents were all out for 97. Result: Kearsney won by 108 runs. 21
