New score box; the plot thickens...

Simon has recognised a few faces in the picture from last Monday, and I've managed to scan the pages from the 1964 magazine!

By then, I was miles away, (and had actually given up cricket, as golf and tennis seemed a better option). I'm afraid someone will have to work out who is who from the names mentioned in GB's resume of the 1963 season!

(If you click on each of the pages, they'll embigger on your screen)!

Cricket...



It wasn't really a big pavilion, more like a shed where you kept your kit while toiling under the blue skies...

The other pavilion was a better building, and your boots kept nice and wet for when you needed to put them on again for the next game on Far Field South, or Near Field North (The First's pitch...)

I can easily recall the rugby pitch though, (in front of the picture) and Taylor and I were wing forwards in a team which played against schools like Westerleigh, Claremont and Hurst Court!
