ing was good, Best i taking 5 wickets for 6 runs. The School replied with 45, Roaf ii and Best i putting on 29 runs. In the second innings University School did better and put on 53 runs before being all out. With only 33 to make to win the match, Shawnigan had an attack of nerves, and Holms and Gordon, aided by some very good fielding, dismissed the School side for 19 runs.
