SENIOR DRAMA SOCIETYThis year the society provided a collection ofreadings and improvisations on the theme of lovefor the enlightenment of the Sixth Form . Theproduction achieved a good balance between theserious and frivolous aspects of the subject .Although the standard of acting faded during theclassical excerpts the cast otherwise reached a highstandard, with notable performances from MartinLiddament, Duncan Lyons and Julie Westrop .The members of the society are unanimous inthanking Mrs . Ferrier for her help and interest,and wish her well in the future .Stephen McKelvey
The 1st XV. Back row : Mr . Little, G . O'Shea, I . Smith, P. Stasi, S . Spencer, K . Hewitt, P . Wilson,Middle row : D . Cox, R . Scase, A . Wright, the Warden, M . Ireland (Captain), S . Shurety, A . Edwards,Front : S . Bishop, K. Hathway .In reviewing the 71/72 season the fact thatregisters most strongly is the bright future ahead for<strong>College</strong> rugby .At the start of the season I realised the 1st XVwould need a period for rebuilding, as we had lost somany senior players from the previous year . Thuswe started our campaign with young and inexperiencedplayers in key positions, but the situation wassomewhat altered when Malcolm Ireland returnedfor a third year in the Sixth . With him to buildaround we were certain to have a more than usefulside, and in fact we lost only two matches andmaintained a style of open rugby which producedmany exciting scores and intensified our good imagein our circuit .As usual we worked hard to make the pack anefficient ball-getting unit, and in this respect theyfunctioned most creditably . Ireland was of course theinspiration throughout ; his skill, speed and aggressionabout the field were uncompromising, and like allgood captains he led his team from the front . Hiseventual award of an England Under 19 Cap againstScotland was fully deserved and can be taken as acompliment to the whole team .With their skipper to inspire them, Spencer andPettit made rapid progress. They covered, tackledand won the ball with great zest, and I hope that thisseason's experience will make them even betterplayers next. Hewitt gave his usual polished performanceat loose-head prop . With his natural gamesability he is an outstanding player in any company,but he must adopt a more robust approach if he isto go forward to bigger honours next season . Coxgave good service as hooker and his mobility overthe field was noticeable . Smith proved to be thetype of player every side needs ; from first to lastwhistle he could be relied on to be in the thick ofevery encounter.Again Pedro Stasi devoted himself to the side, andhis contribution, particularly in the close-quarterstuff, was invaluable. Churchward and O'Shea hadseveral excursions in the first team, and both playedwell . At times we thought this pack was rather slowabout the field, but the fact was that throughout theseason it won far more than its share of good ball,and only against St . Mary's did it come offsecond best.
