Police Record First Win

Of The Season

RECREIO SAVED BY THE RAIN: PEARCE'S POLISHED CENTURY BY "BARNABAS"

Rain caused the abandonment of all cricket matches but one on Saturday. In all instances, play had to be given up after the half- way stage was reached. The only match played to a finish was the one at Happy Valley where the Police brought off their first win of the season when they beat the University seconds in a League en- counter.
