Chronicle-1977

innings was a master piece. Mark Logan's fine fielding and economical offspin bowling brought him the Best All-Rounder's Award. His best innings this year were the 78 not out that won the College match and his 40 in Grahamstown on a difficult wicket. It is a pleasure to be able to thank the many parents who supported this team for their help and interest, and to record our gratitude for the professional advice of John Steele of the Leicestershire C C C. The players were fortunate to have this kind of backing and undoubtedly were greatly enriched by it. Thank you to you all.
