This year the Seconds were undefeated and proud of it. We played some very tough opponents especially U.C.C. and, thanks to a strong fielding side, vanquished them. Our victories occured after games with U.C.C, Ridley, Lakefield and St. Andrew ' s. Our Captain, David Meredith led the contingent of capable bowlers which also included Archer, Piasecki and Dobell. Mark Barr received an award for his outstanding catches in the field. Our batting was inconsistent, but several capable performances were turned in by Paul Lewitt, Andy Crawford and John Durdan. All in all, it was a satisfying season and the team spirit was strong throughout. Second Team FRONT ROW: Dobell, Crawford, Meredith, Home. MIDDLE ROW: Pih, Sorokolit, Bruce, Barr, Durdan. BACK ROW: Mr. Boyd, Lewitt, De Josselin De Jong. Third Team The thirds had a mixed season after a very promising start. Early season victories were by wide margins and as a whole the team played well with good fielding, batting and bowling coming from a large group of players. The second half of the season was disap- pointing as promising batsmen did not continue to make the progress they could, catches were dropped in the field and the bowling became erratic. Fine seasons were turned in by Evans and Kirkpatrick and more experience should help Guthrie, Willson and Leach become good cricketers. jt lS ' ■■ y . I FRONT ROW: Mull, Mann, Follows, Bannister.

s p r I n g First Team Cricket ' 4. it.- i This has been quite a successful season with three victories, three draws and two losses. However, the drawn games were all ' moral ' victories since it was merely a matter of time before we won. The team this year has had the most potential of any team for several years; it has not had to depend on one or two outstanding players for there has been real depth. We have had at least seven bowlers, many have played good innings with the bat, and two wicket-keepers, Toby Bronson and Martin Moffatt, have shown good potential. The season started with a spate of runs against U.C.C. Ian Gordon with 46 and Gavin McCulloch with an undefeated 61 took our total to 156. However, U.C.C. also had some good batsmen and they reached 128. This victory gave us FRONT ROW: McNally, Piasecki, Morris, McCulloch, Krane, McConnell. MIDDLE ROW: Gordon, Williams, Tarbet, McMenemy, Easson. BACK ROW: Bronson, Archer, Moffat, Nightingale, Pepall, Mr. Nightingale. great confidence for our games with Ridley. Peter McConnell, Andrew Pepall, John Easson and Greg Williams all had good innings in their matches, and Ian Gordon and Andrew Pepall bowled well. We then looked forward eagerly to our return match with U.C.C. Playing on the first team wicket we decided to bat first, but after Nicholas Nightingale gave us a good start the rest of the batting never really did anything. Only Gavin McCulloch ' s 16 took us up to 65, and U.C.C. scored these with two wickets to spare. The second half of the season was also successful, the only defeats being at the hands of St. Andrews and a star-studded Father ' s Team. Against St. Andrews ' varied attack our batting collapsed completely even though Nicholas Nightingale showed that if you stick to your technique you cannot go wrong and Peter McConnell made run-scoring look easy until he carelessly hit line wicket. Our total of 25 did not allow our bowlers or fielders any room for error! It was a keen and enjoyable season in which all players tried hard and successfully to improve their skills. Everyone who played for the first team has a promising future in Senior School teams. Well played everyone! - 18

Fourth Team This year ' s Team was a healthy mixture of ' veterans ' and ' rookies ' . Ably led by Captain Anderson, the team showed great promise for the future. Mairs, Shaw, Kendall and Sandford shared the bowling tasks, often bewildering their opponents with barrages of off-spins, full tosses and ' curves ' . Relief men McKenna and Williams also contributed to the attack. Surrounding these boys was a sound field that did their best to contain the score. At bat, notable scores were achieved by Anderson (24), Shaw (22) and Reid (22), while the other team members did their part to raise our total scores. FRONT ROW: Bain, Reid, Slacey, Williams. MIDDLE ROW: Archer, Mann, Mairs, Anderson, Stewart. BACK ROW: Mr. Bailey, Humeniuk, Shaw, McKenna, Kendall. Fifth Team No one, looking at the members of the Fifth Team playing their other sports, could have thought that this would become a winning cricket team. Yet such was the case and we were undefeated in four games. Time, practice and sound advice from Captain Robin Tarbet, moulded the boys into a formidible team. Our fielding was very sharp and although we dropped quite a few catches, we usually made up for it in hard accurate returns. Our batting order changed quite a bit as people progressed. It usually started off with Jim McCarter and Kurt Mull or Paul Petersen who could provide the runs at the beginning of the game. On one occasion, Michael Merry hit twenty-five runs, leading us to a 125-28 romp over Ridley College. Our bowling was very accurate, led by Tarbet, Merry, Pepall, Mattimoe and Wackernagel. All in all though, the boys played their positions very well and always displayed friendly, competitive spirit throughout the season. My sincere thanks to all the members of Fifth Team who gave their very best. FRONT ROW: Schultz, Lewis, Vanderkerckhove, Merry. BACK ROW: Wackernagel, Petersen, Mr. Shorney, Pepall, McCarter, Sorokolit, Maltimoe.
