As reported in the recent Old Boys' Newsletter, there were 27 of our Old Boys pLaying first division cricket for various clubs last season. We look on this as a singular achievement: they must have enjoyed their school cricket very much. Mike Bowditch hit the headlines in the W.P. vs. Natal match, with some good bowling, ané! Neville Budge is gradually becoming the Province's most consistent opening batsman. We look forward to the rise in status of Howard Spiro with great expectation. We would like to thank our supporters' club which operates every Saturday with our teams, especially the Ist XI followers. With regularity Messrs. Merrifleld, Gilmore, De Swardt, Bridgens, Dewar, Rookledge, Jennings, Cawood and Solly Fine and their families are found wherever the team is playing. The Old Boy interest and support from Neville Budge, Jack Burt (Jnr. and Snr.), Andy Kriegler, Fritz Bing, Ron Gibbs and, of course, "Ginger" Townley Johnson, is greatly appreciated by the team. Once again our groundsman, Dr. H. G. Wood, kept us well supplied with excellent pitches. The weather was unfriendly to cricketers on a number 81
of occasions but play 011 all but one was able to proceed, thanks to Or. Eddy's gift of a plastic wicket cover. A very welcome and special feature of the season was the provision of a tuckshop, which operated so efficiently. To Mr. Blackbeard for engineering the project and Mesdames Hamburger and Anziska who, together with their assistants, were responsible for the enterprise, we express our thanks and appreciation. The 1st and 2nd XI's would like me to express our thanks to our matron at Littlewood House for looking after us at lunch- and tea-times on Saturdays. J. L. MATHEW. FIRST ELEVEN MATCH SUMMARY 1965 Vs.
