The Seniors finished the season with a good win over Karorl, only falling light preventing an 8-point win. Harding 59. Tricklebank 59. and Stephenson 50. were the chief scorers. Stephenson also bowled well to take 4 wickets.

For the Seconds, Parkin has proved a most successful all-rounder, securing his 50 wickets and also scoring many runs in the latter part of the season. McPhail has bowled his slow right handers to good effect. Sharrock, though a trifle slow, has batted consistently.

In the Junior B's. Bray and Taylor Cannon are two promising players. Bray is a fine stroke player, his chief fault probably being a lack of confidence in match play. Taylor-Cannon should develop into a good fast bowler If he concentrates on length. Macrae bowls good medium pace spinners, but his length would improve If he slowed down a bit.

Rutherford, the Third grade wicketkeeper has scored many runs.

The enthusiasm of Murphy, the Third grade captain is to be admired. He has kept this team together for several years.
