Jr. School First Cricket FRONT ROW: Stacey, Farrington I. Suchanek II, Farrington E, Burke I. BACK ROW: Peart II, Boyd, McLaughlin, Morrison II, Thomson, Moffat, Manbert, Mr. Abbon, Gaskin. and John Peart for their contribution as captains of the second team. The Junior First Cricket team was chosen from twenty -six boys. All twenty -six practiced together under one coach so it was very important to have good leadership from some of the boys. The team captains were: Suchanek, Farrington I and Farrington II. They did an extremely good job in controlling the team and helped in many ways other than those expected of them. The team did quite well although it had its disappointing moments. The boys learned the fundamentals but above all, enjoyed themselves.

Jr. School Third Cricket FRONT ROW: Day, McBride, Bateman, Baiz II, Washington. BACK ROW: Kenney I, Burchmore I, Suchaneklll, Whitney, Stafford. The team played four matches and won two of them. If everyone had played as well as they did against Upper Canada probably all four matches would have been won. The potential is here for a good first team next year. In the field the team was moulded around the reliable wicket -keeping of Martin Kenney and the steady bowling of Peter Whitney and Brad Thomson, with Gerald Baiz ' s leg-spinners and Nigel Day ' s off -spinners in reserve. Un- fortunately Chris Suchanek never quite got his foot -work right in order to be- come an effective fast bowler. The batting often looked good in practice, and in matches most batsmen started their innings well, but lacked the experience to ' settle down. ' Paul Bateman looked very good every time he batted; with confidence and a greater array of shots he should become a reliable batsman. Chris Suchanek showed that he can concentrate and punish a loose ball. Peter Whitney is on the threshold of success, for he is gradually building a good basic techni- que; Nigel Day and Jamie Washington too are going to make runs as their confidence grows. Several batsmen are hard hitters, David Burchmore, Stephen McBride, Ricky Bruce and Tony Stafford, and with more work on their basic technique they will be able to hit the ball more often. It has been an enjoyable season - apart from the too frequent rain - chiefly because of the great enthusiasm shown by everyone. 97
