The success of the team (lost 1 game) lay in its tremendous spirit and fighting qualities. Very often against heavy odds they fought back and the tail often saved the day. The bowling was varied and tight, with at least one bowler usually coming to light. The fielding was adequate without being brilliant. We record our thanks to umpire A. Grant and Scorer K. Prentice, and to Mr Roy Fearse whose advice at our nets was invaluable and much appreciated. R.D. BLAMEY 3rd TEAM Captain: B.Hagemann Regular Players: C. Blamey, A. Chapman, A. Dennison,D.Grant,S.
