The Club has just passed through one of the most difficult and, at the same time, one of the most successful seasons in its history. After the disappointing results of the previous season, the Club has now set itself on a firm foundation, and every effort is being made to bring the Club into its former position among senior teams. After a most enthusiastic annual general meeting, application was made to the Wellington Cricket Association to enter a senior and perhaps two junior teams. Much controversy took place with the result that we were excluded from senior ranks. However, this will not discourage us, and we make an urgent appeal to all old and present members to support us in this important matter. As a result of this disappointment, many leading members withdrew from the game altogether. However, we successfully ran a junior team through the whole of the season. Of the nine matches played, five were won and four lost. Although this is not a brilliant record for a University team, this season has done great service in stirring up enthusiam in both past and present members of the Club.

Another important pre-war branch of the activities of the Club has been renewed. Two inter-'Varsity matches were played and a third so nearly eventuated that we feel certain that the triangle will be completed next year. On the 28th and 29th of December we entered a fairly strong team against Auckland University College, who incidentally won the Auckland Senior Grade Championship. Although we lost, a most exciting finish ensued in which Auckland "got the wind up" properly, just winning by 2 wickets.

At Eastertime a match was arranged against Canterbury College. This we managed to win by 19 runs; also an exciting finish.

And now the Club looks forward to a season of renewed and increased activities, of great, and enthusiastic support from past and present students, and of full teams and keen practices. As far as practices are concerned, last season was most unsatis factory and disappointing. About three or four members turned up regularly, only to find that they were the only ones present. This went on week in and week out, so that the enthusiasts gradually became disheartened and they too dropped off. There is not a cricketer in all the world who could not derive benefit from constant practice, at least three or four days a week. To attain to a high standard of play, it is necessary for the whole team, from the captain downwards, to practice together and practice together and Practice Together. If only the members of the Club will all turn out for an hour three days a week, the Club has rosy hopes of achieving great successes in the season that lies before us.
