The Fourth Cricket XI Led by Captain Louis Gratton, the Fourth team enjoyed a highly successful season. We began on a winning note by defeating U.C.C. Fourth team by two wickets. Our two games against Ridley were both successes. It is noteworthy to mention that in the second of the two games, Meredith scored seventeen runs and took nine wickets, thanks to Morgan ' s five fine catches. Next, we travelled to Hillfield and after a dismal batting effort managed to squeak a victory due to some alert fielding. Our final opponent of the season was U.C.C. Third team. Again, alert fielding by all and steady bowling by Gratton and Morgan, enabled us to keep U.C.C. ' s score to a respectable 68. After a shaky start, we settled down to more consistent batting. Our total slowly mounted. It was ■■ - FRONT ROW: Bates, Meredith, Toles II, Morgan, Freeman, Gordon I, Mueller II.

Although -the games against Ridley were lost, they were well played and indicated some promising talents for future Appleby teams. Strucken, Toles and Hamilton all showed good bowling ability. McKenzie, Sch- midt and Stalder are developing into fine batsman. A good effort by all players. 151

The Second Cricket XI An enthusiastic and lively bunch of boys assembled for the first practice in a biting wind. Most had never played Cricket before. Some learned how to bat, some how to bowl, and they all learned how to field and catch. A cricket ball into an ungloved hand from 50 feet hurts when you are cold. We lost the first two matches to Upper Canada College in the cold of the early season while we were still learning the game. Our best games were against Ridley with whom we shared the points, and against Hillfield whom we defeated easily. The final game of the season was an exciting and very close game with TCS which we just lost. FRONT ROW: Brooks. Cole, McGuiness, Jaciw, Johnson. Gilchrist, Sutherland. Fife I. BACK ROW: Mr. Berriman. Coxon, Scott, Appleby, Hickling, Hewitt, Lanch. Well done second team - all of you, you learned how to play Cricket, and you played it well. The Third team only played four matches this season, two with Ridley, one with U.C.C. and one The Third Cricket XI FRONT ROW: Kay, Cockell, Shaw. Dorion, Fife II. Boyd. BACK ROW Mr. Boyd.

Stephen Fife, Tom Hughes, Barry Kay, Adam Boyd, David Dorion, Jon Stark each scored ten runs or more in an innings. This means that there is a good nucleus of run-getters for the first team next year. Of our bowlers, Bill Griffin, Adam Boyd, Matthew Thurley and Paul Stewart have all taken wickets, so it looks as though next year ' s attack will have variety and skill. The general level of enthusiasm has been very high so that the future prospects look very bright. 150
