The Cricket Club is in the fortunate position of having not only every member of last season's senior eleven again available, but in J. R. Stevens. Job Ongley and W. F. Vietmeyer, three good all-rounders who in previous years were prominent members of the firsts. Jack Stevens captained the seniors two years ago, but played for the Wellington Club last season. For the opening match there will be keen competition for places in the team.

Moreover, with the exception of two or three players, the whole of the second eleven will be available again. For this team also, there is likely to be keen competition for places, as three former first eleven players in R. W. Edgley. L. B. Sandford and R. S. V. Simpson have decided to play again.

The secondary schools are furnishing some good material for lower grade teams and, altogether, prospects for a successful season in all grades are good. Unfortunately there will be little time for practice before competition matches actually begin. At the moment, it appears that no practice wickets will be ready more than a few days before the opening day, 22nd October. It is hoped, however, to arrange a practice game with St. Patrick's College at Silverstream on 15th October.
