VOLLEYBALL SEIsIIOR VOLLEYBALL TEAM Back Row: Fox, Jorstad, Mocklow, Dunstan, Lee (S), Mr. J. Beard ( coach) Front Row: Moniz, Clift, Pern; (capt), Doughfy, Chaves. Senior Volleyball had its most successful season ever at Saltus as our Senior team won both the league and the annual tourna- ment, finishing both as undefeated champions. Possibly their best performance was against M.S. A. in the toumament, where after the lead changed hands several times, we spurted ahead to win 16-14. It ' s to their credit that they stayed within the lima- tions of their ability, rarely trying something they knew they could not finish correctly. Thus their game of covering for each other and knowledgable teamwork saw them through. David Mocklow deserves special mention for an excellent job as captain, his all-round ability was a vital asset to the team as was the defensive aerobatics of Gary Perry and the well-used ' tips ' of Donald Moniz — but, of course, such success is always a team effort and it is the team that is to be congratulated. Colours: Re-awarded: Moniz, Perry, Mocklow New: Doughty, Dunstan, Jorstad, McKittrick, Clift, Chaves, Lee, Fox. Junior Again, a successful season. The team, well led by Michael Moniz, were unlucky to finish third in both the league and the toumament. A little more consistency would have brought better results. Nevertheless, many useful lessons have been learnt and things look well for the future.

Cross-Country At the inter-school meet, Saltus once again did exception- ally well, with those boys who had made best use of Mr. Roskilly ' s Running Club, coming out best overall. George Scaff came 3rd overall in the Senior competition, and Roland Lines was just pipped for 1st place in the Junior competition. Inter-house Due to a flu epidemic the format was changed to involve only six boys per house per age group. Consequently the competition and standard were of a high standard. Junior: 1st R.

BASKETBALL Scaff and Mocklow on their tuay up. Senior BasketbaU Although this may have been regarded as a poor season by some of the players, it was in fact a season that demonstrated strength of character and application by team members. We started the season with totally new faces in that all five of last season ' s starters had left. We were convincingly beaten by M.S. A. and Chaffee, had very close games against Berkeley and Whitney before eventually losing to them, and defeated Robert Crawford and Warwick Academy. The game against Warwick Academy was perhaps one of the high spots of the season, for at half-time we were down by 6 points, yet the team picked them- selves up to win by a clear 15-point margin. Gary Perry is to be commended for doing a first-class job as captain and also finish- ing as leading point-scorer. Colours: Re-awarded: Perry, Mocklow New: Lewis, Chaves, Clift, Scaff, Jorstad Junior Basketball An excellent season in which the team went from strength to strength. This was mostly clearly seen when at the beginning of the season they were soundly defeated by Chaffee, but when we met again in the semi-final of the tournament we beat them. Although losing a close final to Berkeley, the team can be very proud of their performance In other league action we lost by one point to M.S.A, were well beaten by Berkeley, and defeated Warwick Academy. Robert Crawford and Whitney. A very good job was done by captain Pochard Boyle. Leading point scorer was Robin Hamill JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM: Back Row: Mr. J. Beard (coach). Swan. Jackson.

CRICKET Junior Cricket Although they did not win any of their three league games, their improve- ment was excellent. Obviously many of the lessons taught by Mr. Harrison were being learned and should stand us in good stead for the future. Chris Swan, once again, did an excellent job on and off the field. He was ably assisted by Brian Morris who made corisiderable progress this term to the extent that he was selected for the 1st XI for the game against the Old Boys. 1st XI Poe dispatches a IVhitney ball for 4. Won 1 Drawn 1 Lost 3 This year for the first time inter-school cricket was organised on an east-west league basis. The winners of each league went through to the final at National Stadium. The competition was sponsored by Argonaut and their trophy was eventually won by Robert Crawford. Saltus were in the same qualifying section as Robert Crawford and we had two very close games against them. In the first game we lost by a slower scoring rate of 0. 15 of a run per over. The second game was even closer as we needed two runs off the last ball, to win on faster scoring rate, with one wicket in hand. Despite valiant efforts by Sean Symons we got one run before Sean was run out going for the second. Our two games against Whitney were also hard fought. The first we again lost narrowly by 3 runs while the second we won in style by 9 wickets thanks to a hard hitting 60 not out by Vincent Chaves and 40 not out by Reynard Smith. These two, together with Ellwood Fox and ' Po ' Lewis scored most of the runs and also did most of the bowling. Other useful contributions came from Troy Harvey, Patrick Bean and Delmon Talbot whose 4 wicket for 12 runs off 8 overs against Whitney was the best bowling performance of the season. Jeff Amaral kept wicket tidily and made runs at crucial times. The Founders Day game against the Old Boys was a predicatably one-sided affair but the school did well to hold on for a draw after being set 276 to win in under 2 hours. Credit for this must go to Ellwood Fox who batted for most of the school innings and refused to be tempted to indiscretion. Altogether it has been an encouraging season and all the school games have been very close. A number of promising players remain for next year who can only have benefitted from their experiences in the 1981 season.
