THE DIF- FERENT SCHOOLS ARE BEING INVITED TO ATTEND A MEET- ING, TO BE CALLED VERY SHORTLY, TO DISCUSS THE DESIRABILITY OR OTHERWISE OF RUNNING SUCH A COM- PETITION.

Personally I think that it would be a step in the right direc- tion for these inter-school league matches would give the boys what is commonly described as "match experience" and it is griting to be more and more apparent that while it was not so much the case in former years, the different clubs in Hong Kong are now looking to the schools as nurseries.

SHOULD MASTERS PLAY? Should masters, be allowed to take part in these matches? TO my mind I do not think so. There are some schools that have more than one master who plays cricket while at others no member of the staff takes part in the games at all.
