as many as 7 wickets on two oc- casions. Then came an overwhelm- ing defeat at the hands of the Lakefield 1st Team. Our bowling and fielding held them to 84 runs, but our batting had fallen to pieces. Seven batsmen were ducked, and only Baiz, Lewis and Kay were able to score any runs at all (a miserable 11). We then drew to U.C.C. and beat them the next day. Our second game against T.C.S. was a draw, and the team slipped well below its potential. Then, sweet revenge! Lakefield Firsts, confident of another vic- tory, went down to defeat as we hammered out 97 runs for 7 wic- kets and then held them once again to 84 all out. With this lift, we trounced U.C.C. in our final match, scoring 122 runs for 7 wic- kets, while allowing them only 57 runs. This gave us a 7-2-1 record and a solid hold on first place. I would like to thank all the members of this year ' s team for their effort and enthusiasm, and on their behalf, Mr. Revill, for his continuing patience and support. His almost limitless knowledge and strategy were a great help to me, and his constant cheerfulness made the game that much more enjoy- able. Thanks again for a season I shall long remember.

2nd - U-16 Cricket FRONT ROW: Stewart, Kay, Meredith, Lewis, Hickling, Johnson. SECOND ROW: Forsyth, Richards, Marshall, Lloyd, Graham, Durdan. BACK ROW: Mr. Revill, Baiz, Goddard, Turnbull. This year ' s 2nci XI had a very good season, due largely to high team spirit and a ood amount of talent. The wicked spin bowling of Jeff Goddard was surpassed only by Peter Meredith, (whose deadly accuracy took 40 wickets this sea- son) and Paul Stewart. Don Johnson was our ace reliever , and even Chris Lewis managed to get in a few overs. Our batting soon proved to be as good as our bowling. Again, Peter Meredith ' s uncanny skill shone through, accounting for 20 Vo of our total runs. Richard Hickling, Paul Stewart and Barry Kay also paced our attack with good batting. Keen fielding by Don Hamilton, Mike Forsyth, Gord Richards, Barry Kay, and Peter Meredith kept the scores down and the spirits up. In all, 43 wickets were taken as a result of our good field- ing. Our first four games were easy wins against T.C.S., Ridley, U.C.C., and S.A.C., winning by

U-15 Cricket Good but not quite good enough is about the only way to describe this year ' s U15 ' s. That, however, is better than we had hoped at the beginning of the season. Most peo- ple, including some members of our team, thought we would be lucky to win a game. Petersen ' s bowling was a saving factor and he seemed to be the only bowler capable of taking wic- kets consistently, other than Gregory. Our Tielding was excellent but much credit has to go to FRONT ROW: New, Duncan, Petersen, Gregory, Ross, DuToit, Mr. Large. BACK ROW: Kotulak, Chapman, Mutimer, Genereux, Thompson, Smith, Munn. Duncan Ross and Phil DuToit who made several spectacular catches in our away games. David Mutimer COACH ' S COMMENTS You ' ve heard of the Bad News Bears - now we ' ve seen the Tough Luck Crickets! Three games in particular were ours to win until out of the woodwork came a tail- end batsman who had not scored any runs all season now to score 58, 26 and 23 against us. My hat is off to a group of enthusiasts who never gave up and who showed some excellent spirit. Thanks for a happy season. F.S.L. -k
