him was usually Paul Stewart, then Adam Boyd and Don Johnson, who between them would score most or all of the runs needed to win, leaving six or seven batsmen with no action at all. Don Johnson was second to Paul Stewart in batting average, but not in runs. He had many Not Outs, though. Batsmen such as Tom Hughes, Barry Kay, Peter Meredith, Paul Sustronk, Geoff Marshall, Steve Cockell and Jeff Goddard had very little or no time to bat. The talent was, imfortunately, locked away. We give great thanks to Mr. Revill, our coach, who proved to us that cricket is more fim than we thought possible. With the spirit high and the bowling average low, we had a great team.

The Under-16 Cricket squad was a team that had talent in its ranks. The bowlers revealed that they could do the job. displaying a fine knowledge of the game. Probably the best bowler was Tom Hughes. He was supported by Paul Stewart and Peter Meredith, who almost perfect his deadly googly. In batting, Paul Stewart was the ace batsman, scoring over a hundred runs. He was the only one to score a six on his first bowl. Opening batsman was usually Louis Gratton, a safe, very cautious player, who therefore score very few rims.

Third Cricket The Under- 15 Cricket team this year had a very successful season, suffering only one loss and this in a very close match against Saint Andrew ' s. There were many strong points about this team, but the most outstanding was our fielding. We played aggressively in the field, which resulted in many runouts and some spectacular catches and stops. Our fielding was so strong that not one team managed to score over 60 runs against us. In fact, in one game we kept the opposing team to twelve runs. So, thanks go to Mr. Large and Mr. Singer for drilling us on fielding practice. The team also got strong bowling especially from our co- captains, Pat Bates and Joey Ryan, who kept the runs down by taking many wickets. Batting was probably our weakest point, although at times we got some good iimings from a few batsmen. Rich Withey and Joey Ryan helped put on many rims for us. However we lacked depth in our batting order. We had a strong team, but most important of all, we had a good team morale and spirit. The two co-captains, Joey Ryan and Pat Bates, and the rest of the Under- 15 squad would like sincerely to thank Mr. Large and Mr. Singer for their time and efforts. Pat Bates and Joe Eyan P.S. This was a wonderful group of U-15 ' s to work with. Seldom have I enjoyed a team more- they were great in victory and gen- tlemen in defeat. Mr. Large
