It has become quite the custom of late years to have the opportunity of congratulating this Club on a successful season, but never has the general success been so pronounced as during the period just concluded. The first XI, probably as expert and seasoned a team as we can ever hope to possess, has won the Senior Championship without a defeat, and might have had an absolutely clean sheet had not the Cravens inflicted a crushing blow as described below. The Second XI has been almost equally successful and is (we of the four teams which have yet to play a final round to decide the possession of the Cup—so far they have a lead of three points. Their success is the more pleasing in that it ensures a supply of trained material for the senior ranks of the future. The lower teams have not been so uniformly successful, but have manfully done their share to uphold the reputation of the Club. We ardently wish that the success of the ladies could inspire the male wielders of the ash with some spirit of emulation. Something might even he done to arrange a course of instruction; such a move would be productive of much profit and enjoyment.

Miss M. Burden was a compulsory absentee from the senior ranks during the second term and her stubborn defence and lusty drives were badly missed on several occasions.

The Senior Championship was won by a margin of 5 points.
