OLD PETERITES v. OLD WORKSOPIANS.

This match was the first against the Old Worksopians, and was played on the School ground, on July 24th. The game attracted considerable interest and many Old Peterites and friends watched an enjoyable afternoon's cricket.

Elliott won the toss and decided to bat on what appeared to be a very easy paced wicket. At first the bowling of the Old Worksopians was good, but after the shine had gone off the ball, runs came very quickly. Altogether the O.P.s batted for 1 hour 55 minutes, and the feature of the innings was a splendid stand by Newman and Ogley of 132 runs for the third wicket.

Newman's 64 was made in very easy style and included ten 4's. Ogley batted well for a very hard hit 100, which included ten 4's and three 6's.

The innings was declared at 237 for five wickets.

Given 2 hours 20 minutes in which to get these runs the Old Worksopians were slow at first and soon found themselves behind the clock. Shillito and Walker contributed a useful 43 and 48 respectively, both were missed before reaching double figures.

The bowling of Pickergill for the O.P.s was really first class, making the ball turn very quickly at times, his six wickets costing 56 runs. N.B.—A return fixture at Worksop is being arranged for

Whit Sunday of next year. Any O.P. wishing to play should send his name to K. G. Chilman, Esq.
