Following their matches with Craigengower and Club de Recreio, descriptions of which have already appeared in those columns, their latest contribution to brighter cricket was offered last Saturday when; in a match which at one time appeared to be one-sided but In which there was actually hardly a single dull moment. they lied with he Army.
