Two days of almost unbroken sunshine—quite an event, but whether the cricket lived up to the occasion is a matter of conjecture. Having been put in to bat, the School dictated the policy on their terms. In making their total of 198 runs, the School took an inordinately long time for such a festive occasion, but were struggling considerably against the seam bowling of David Kirby (3 for 23), having lost more than half their wickets for 103 runs. In reply the Old Boys did all within their power to regain the initiative, thus declaring in a little short of 2 hours for a total 30 in arrears. A feature of the School's 2nd innings was their recovery after losing 7 wickets for 56 runs, with the result that the Old Boys were left with more than they had bargained for. Carr (5 for 53) bowled for a prolonged period and Rowbottom (5 for 17) bowled better than at any time in the season. Ranson (33), opening bat, did his level best to hold the Old Boys innings together when the quest for runs became hopeless. The innings however developed into an unpredictable collapse, and when Ranson was ninth out victory, with one minute to spare by 79 runs, became a reality, in a manner Which was far from the intentions of the Old Boys. 44
