Junior School - First Cricket XI Captain: John Farrington A very successful season. The team lost only one match and won the other five, thanks largely to the efforts of those who had figured in last year ' s 1st and 2nd teams. There was some promising batting from Jamieson, Farrington 1, Johnson and Flatt, though all are prone to lose patience and concentration too soon and to swing at the ball. Graham Johnson ' s 97 scored against Lakefield is an individual total rarely met with at this level of Cricket and will no doubt long stand as a record here. Lakefield were totally demoralized, and we inflicted on them their only defeat of the season. The attack was generally shared between John and Bruce Farrington who, aided by good fielding, catching and throwing, recorded some very good bowling performances. The Parents and 1st XI match was enjoyable and exciting, the fathers proving to be too strong and winning by 25 runs. Results: School vs Hillfield: won by 73 runs 79 5 School vs Ridley: won by 5 wickets 35 34 School vs S.A.C.: won by 18 runs 45 27 School vs U.C.C.: won by 2 runs 55 53 School vs T.C.S.: won 65 for 7 67 43 School vs Ridley: lost by 28 runs 47 75 School vs Lakefield: won by 196 runs 207 13 This was a mixed 1st and 2nd XI For the records, Johnson scored 149 runs, with an average of 21 In bowling, John Farrington took 36 wickets for 107 runs (average: 3.0) Bruce Farrington took 25 wickets for 89 runs (average: 3.6)

Appleby will be very soon a major force in the I.S.A.A. with the U16 XI moving into the senior ranks. Once again Ridley was the only team to beat us - and when we had opening bowler Kaunas and opening bat Green out of action. Merritt was a good captain, one who handled the team intelligently. A general criticism might be that the bowlers wanted to bowl too fast without being accurate, and the batsmen, in a few cases, were too impatient. The coach wishes to thank all those who turned out for giving him a very pleasant term on the pitch. Compliments of McALISTER MOTORS 850 Brant Street Burlington 634-5531

Junior School - Second Cricket XI Captain: Paul Runyon An unsuccessful season owing to a lack of Cricketers at this level. The side tried hard, and deserves praise for keep- ing at it even when in losing situations. There were several players to whom the game was unknown before the season began, but who shaped up well and from whom we can expect better play next year - boys such as Pritchard, L. Thompson and Moffat. Among the other players, M.J. Thompson shaped well as wicket keeper and batsman, and K. Morrison has promise as an all-rounder. Runyon, Bloomfield and Morrison shared the attack. Results: School vs Ridley: Lost by 80 runs 48 128 for 7 School vs S.A.C.: Lost by 15 runs 33 48 School vs U.C.C.: Lost by 15 runs 40 55 School vs Ridley: Lost by 64 runs 46 110 Junior School - Third Cricket Xi The team had a very successful season with a win and a draw against Ridley and a win against Upper Cauda. The team was led by Stuart McLaughlin who proved to be an excellent bowler at this level and a very capable batsman as well. The team was weak when batting and was forced to rely on the bowling skills of McLaughlin, Keil and Burke 1 and some very tight fielding. The enthusiasm of the whole team was very much in evidence on the field and against Ridley the team was well behind after the first innings but refused to give up.
