30 1st XI SOCCER REPORT (1964-65) The school 1st XI won more games than they lost in the year 1964- 5, finished second in the inter-school 1st XI league competition, winning half of their four matches in the competition, and also won three of four friendly matches. The season opened in fine style with a convincing win over an XI selected by last season ' s 1st XI captain, Barry Hanson. This game saw the school forward line inCrare top form as they hammered home five goals. But this glory was short lived for in the next match, the first league game, against Warwick Academy the school gave a very sluggish performance and lost by two goals. Against the Saltus Staff the school recovered its good form and taking advantage of the lock of cohesion in the Staff team won by 5 to 2. In the second league match another encouraging display was given as the school recovered some of the prestige which it had lost in previous encounters with Mount Saint Agnes in soundly defeating them by five goals. This gome saw the forwards display something which has been lacking in Saltus 1st XI teams of the last few years, that being the finishing touch in front of goal. The school ' s next match was at St. John ' s field against the Bermuda Hotel School in a game which the school lost 4 to 2. Both Soltus XTs won their games against the Old Boys but neither without a struggle. The 1st XI started in fine style and at the half were three up. But the Old Boys fought back to even the game at three apiece. But the school ' s superior fitness began to tell in the end as the school won 6-4. The second XI won by 3 goals to 2 the second match against Mount Saint Agnes was outstanding because of some rather bizarre officiating. Two penalties were awarded against the school from which they never quite recovered and were beaten by two goals. The season closed at home with a very close exciting game against keen rivals Warwick. The 1st XI again showed signs of developing into a formidable team once again but lacked a driving spirit and also suffered from lack of supporters, especially at home games. With increased spectator support and continued practice the school should do quite well in next year ' s league competition. L. S. OSBORNE.

32 JUNIOR LEAGUE ELEVEN 1964 This year there was only one league in the junior age group and this was rather unfortunate for it meant that only eleven players could represent their school at any one time. However, it did mean that the strongest side could be fielded and once again Saltus won the league cup, thus following up their victory of the previous year. The team played 6 matches in the league and won them all quite com- fortably, although Cavendish provided strong opposition and only went down by 3-2. Campbell 2 captained the side enthusiastically, using his size to Its best advantage. Everyone contributed to the success of the side but special mention should be mode of Moniz 2 who showed mature artistry on the left wing ond Hillier 1 who chased everything he could at centre forward. Results: Saltus V Gilbert Institute (a) won 4-0 V Dellwood (h) won 2-0 V Warwick Academy (h) won 3-1 V Whitney Institute (a) won 2-0 V Cavendish (h) won 3-2 V Sandys (h) won 7-1 T.C.D.M. imiMiMiii
