FOOTBALL REPORT OF JUNIORS AND SENIORS All three teams played some intelligent, soccer this season (1973-74) but they were unfortunate in winning neither the League or Knock Out Cup. The juniors (under 13 ' s) were probably the best in their league but because of bad luck they failed to win the league. Philip Smith captained the juniors very well and set a good example for the rest of the team but the Most Valuable Player was Vance Campbell. This young, experienced player came from the midfield many time to score, and bring his team out of trouble. The Senior Team (over 15 ' s) was captained by Ray Smith. Ray was a very good soccer player and was able to withstand great pressure. This Senior team was quite strong, with Lloyd Roberts sweeping the backline, and Andre Amory showing his skills up front.

GOLF CLUB Although Bermudians boast that there are more golf courses per square mile in Bermuda than anywhere else on earth, and that one of these courses ranks amongst the top ten in the world, there has been little golf activity organised within the islands schools until fairly recently. The main purpose of forming a club at Saltus was to foster an interest in a sport in which the individual can be actively involved for most of his life. Secondly, to encourage those boys who always have an established handicap to improve their personal standards and finally to encourage particiaption in tour- naments organised within the school and in inter school events. Interest in the sport has increased thorughout the season and there are now about thirty members who make use of the facilities that are available - 8 practice bays and mats and an assortment of clubs - the latter kindly donated by Bill Dunkley. Regular practice sessions take place every Tuesday afternoon at 3.45 on the school field under the guidance of Mr. Colin Williams. One highlight of the season was the Inter Schools Pairs Cup which was won by Ricky Osborne and Doug Hillen at Port Royal Golf Course with a net 67. They will be defending their title in June 1974. Another event, enjoyed by both staff and students was the Stableford-Two Ball Better Ball Tournament, which was held at the Southampton Princess Golf Club in the Easter holidays. The team of Ricky Osborne and Peter Matcham, who scored 44 points, took first place on retrogression over Mr. Mike Jackson and Ian Charlton. Third place went to Mr. Stephenson and Jens Maitland with 41 points. The teacher winning the low net prize for the second nine was Mr. Len Cruickshank and the student prize went to Charles Collis whose net score of 21, was the best of the day. GYMNASTICS REPORT The team Saltus entered in this year ' s Gymnastic competition comprised six members, M. Rodill (Captain, R. Charlton, K. Reid , J. Simmons, M. Lopes, J. VVoolridge. We displayed our skills at the Bishop Spencer School gymnasium, the first time in several years that the school has been represented in this area of sports. As no member of the team had ever been in a senior school competition of this nature, we were all nervous at first, but once the judging began, the team performed to the expected standard. Although we didn ' t win the event, we left the gymnasium knowing what we were to expect in following years and planning accordingly. M. Rodill SBC 1 7-
