VOLLEYBALL This was a very successful season. Unfortunately in our senior league, two schools dropped out, leaving only ourselves and M.S.A. We lost both games to our local adversaries; and so it was left to the round-robin tournament for a realistic view of our ability. Some excellent volleyball saw us defeat every school, except one — M.S.A. — and so finish second. Colours — Re-awarded: E. Ball, S. Bagen, M. Wilson, B. Leitch. New awards: C. Bardgett, T. Smith, C. Smith, G. Perry, K. Wight At a junior level we were even more successful. Hard work at training sessions and resultant excellent TRACK FIELD Interschool Saltus again did well in the inter- school meet. This year we had 34 finalists. The most notable performance was that of Romano Ramirez who, in winning the intermediate pole vault, broke the record at both intermediate and senior level. J. Beard. Sports Day An afternoon deluge on the first day forced Sports Day to be held over two days; despite this a very competitive meet ensued. The result was in the balance until the last relay, when Darrell just pipped Watlington for first place. Overall Junior winner was Patrick Mackie Wilson — Overall Champion. Mm illk mm The immensely successful Junior team (l-r) (back row): Mr. J. Beard (coach), D. Mocklow, W. Crawford, C. Dunstan, G. Pitcher, (front row): T. McKittrick, R. Doughty, J. Wight, C. Wright, D. Moniz. teamwork saw the team win all of their games, and therefore, their league and the round-robin. At inter-house level, the new gym was a perfect setting for an excellent Butterfield v Darrell senior house play- off, Butterfield being the eventual victor. The junior competition was won by Saltus house. Mm CRICKET This was not the best season in terms of results, for both Senior and Junior teams. But, both teams showed improvement as the season went on and thus there is great promise for the future. 1st XI: P5, W2, L3. This year ' s was a young squad, nine of which will still be available next year. Although beaten three times, they made a real fight of it in every game. In the two games they won they showed their true potential, skittling one team out for only 36 runs. Junior XI: P5, L5. A disappointing year for these boys in that they did not manage to win a game, but for many this was their first season of cricket and so theycannot be judged harshly. As the season went on they improved immensely. Their bowling and fielding was commendable, but was often let down by their batting — a problem The Senior Team (l-r) (back row): Mr. J. Beard (coach), D. Burgess, T. McKittrick, G. Perry, W. Campbell, (front row): N. Parsons, C. Wright, D. Smith, E. Pascoe, J. Amaral. from which the first XI also suffered. Hopefully the new indoor net facility will improve this weakness for next season. The Junior Team (l-r) (back row): Mr. D. Harrison (coach), T. Harvey, M. Breeze, A. Dias, I. Bailey, D. Swain, D. Benevides, R. Amott. (front row): C. Swan, B. Chaves, C. Clift, P. Bean, K. Lalami.
