Captain—REID. Vice-Captain—RIMMER.

This year we have not been as successful as in past years. Only three of last season's XI were available, while events on the football field tended to create an impression of anticlimax when the cricket season arrived.

Our only success was a handsome six-wicket win against a strong " Engineering Cadet " side, while both our matches with Huyton Juniors were drawn. Victory was almost within our grasp against the last-named team, when, with only three Huyton wickets to fall, bad light stopped play.

The most reliable batsman was Rimmer ; Ewing, Gale, Reid and Stephenson made useful scores occasionally, though they were rather inconsistent ; Griffiths showed promise as an opening batsman.

We found a splendid bowler in Ames ; by keeping an exceptionally accurate length he captured 40 wickets. Critchley and Gale bowled well on occasions.

Some of the eleven proved very capable in the field, but the standard was not maintained throughout the team.
Regular members of the team were Ewing, Stephenson, Gale, Rimmer, Reid, Griffiths, Poulson, Miller, Critchley, Orford and Ames. Atherton, Court, Foster, Holt, Smith and Vaughan also played. Colours were awarded to Reid, Rimmer, Ames, Gale and Ewing (re-awarded). The second XI proved quite formidable, winning three out of their four games.
