against our strongest rivals. Against S.A.C.S. the
team scored 122 runs in even time. And against
Bishop's we were left 95 minutes to make 131
runs, and at the close of play we were eight runs
short with one wicket standing!
Our most successful batsmen were W. van Dam,
A. Blotnjck (Captain) and D. Asher, while E.
Eddy, M. Erye, M. Linekar and G. Des Lingeris
were the chief wicket-takers.
On behalf of the team I sbould like to tbank
Mr. Gilmore, our coach, for bis much-appreciated
assistance during tbe season.
4th Team
The Fourth bad a very enjoyable, if not too
successful, second balf of the season. We played
six matches, won two, drew one and lost three.
Our failure to achjeve better results was due
mainly to a lack of penetrating bowlers, but this
was compensated for to some extent by keen
fieldin~ and an excellent team spirit. Linekar
bowled extremely well throughout the season and
Morris and Dol1rnan batted well.
The team wishes to thank Mr. Parkins for his
coaching. It is greatly appreciated.

5th XI Cricket
The Fifth Team did very well for itself in the
1965-66 season. This was particularly so in the
new year when several standard tens decided to
take up cricket again and Ellert took over the
captaincy.
In the first half of the season the Fifths, led by
Kemp, won two matches, drew one and lost the
other. Good performances were put up by Patrick
Deane, Ian Scott, Carl Anderton, Burns and
Ward with the bat, and by Anderton, Kemp, Van
Staden and Boyce witb the ball.
In the second half under Ellert the team was
unbeaten in four games and actually defeated the
School Fourths on a memorable occasion near
the end of term. Outstanding batsmen were
Asher, who scored an undefeated centl,lry, Ger,
Reynolds and Ellert ; and Honeyman, Rolfe, Ger,
Ellert and Leyser took frequent wickets.
A feature match was that between an Ellert XI
and a Ger XI in which both captains managed to
distinguish themselves. The teams were drawn
from Fourth and Fifth Team players.
