Glut Of Runs Made

Last Week-End

There was a lot of cricket over the week-end and a great many runs were made. Alec Pearce, after his long golfing holiday, returned to the Club side in amazing form, and Owen Hughes also seemed to have benefited by the change! The result was that the Club, after winning the toss, hit up a very large score against the Navy in a very short time.
