The Rest team contains many players who have given grand service to their clubs throughout the season. Tam Woon-cheuk, the goalkeeper, week after week put up fine displays in Kwong Wah's goal and fully deserves to play in today's game.

JULY GAP IS BAD BUSINESS

SAYS BRUCE HARRIS

Middlesex County Cricket Club members who laye just received their blue membership cards, scimitared in gold, for the coming season are reminded again of the grievous July-August gap in the home match list.

Middlesex open the season with ten successive matches at Lord's. Soon afterwards they have an eleventh against Yorkshire there and a twelfth against Essex. Then Lord's ground knows them not between July 4 and the game against Surrey on August 19.
