An O.P. match without a single declaration is a rare event, but such was the case this year.

The School seemed set for a good total when lunch on the first day was taken with the score standing at 120 for 2. The early dismissal of Nettleton after lunch however, marked the turn of events, and the innings never again established itself.

In like manner, the O.P. innings took a turn for the worse after the fall of the 3rd wicket. The rot set in and Pickersgill, bowling with his customary determination, never allowed a recovery to be staged.

At this juncture the Old Boys relied more and more on the services of David Kirby in both bowling and batting, and the game swung decisively in the Old Boys' favour. Mick Robson displayed what an able cricketer he is, and it was good to see Nick Magson in good bowling form once again.

Mike Ranson too played his customary part, although it has to be admitted that only the inside and under edge of his bat had the remotest idea of where the ball was.

A clear-cut win for the Old Boys just after Pickersgill had collected his 50th wicket for the season, and everybody was happy.

THE BOAT CLUB

The 1964 season will be memorable not for its winning six cups, but for the fact that five of them were won in the final week. Few colours remained from the previous season, and the crews' lack of experience cost us some races early in the term. Happily each crew learnt to reproduce, and then to better, its performance in training, and having tasted blood, all the first four IVs were sincerely sorry the season had come to an end.

The rowing calendar did not favour our rowing as an VIII, for Chester Regatta was too early and Marlow clashed with York, so from the start it was clear we were to concentrate on IVs. Only one of last year's VIII was still at School, but the 1st VIII had trained together during the Easter 46
