determination, and the School were unlucky to concede a late goal from a deflected short corner. York H.C. (away) 0 -4 In terms of chances St. Peter's were at least equal to this strong York XI, as only weak finishing prevented St. Peter's from taking the lead early on and the final score of 4—o hardly reflects the hard work and skills of all departments, with centre back Precious and winter Miller outstanding. Styx (home) 1-4 (Miller) After taking the lead just before half-time through a Miller set-piece, St. Peter's failed to dominate and defensive slackness allowed Styx a 2-I lead at the interval. Two more spectacular second-half goals allowed Styx to cruise to a comfortable victory. Nunthorpe (home) 2-I (Chapman, Miller) After a brilliant goal by Chapman and another from winger Miller, St. Peter's relaxed and failed to take complete control of this scrappy game, allowing Nunthorpe to reply early in the second-half. Only good defensive skills from full-backs McGrath and Rymer and fine saves from goal-keeper Quirke denied Nunthorpe an equaliser. Headmaster's XL (home) 3-4 (Chapman, Ellison, Miller) An exciting and eventful match with both sides holding the lead at some stage. St. Peter's started badly but pulled back to take 2-1 lead and were slightly unfortunate to lose 4-3 in the end with Johnston and Precious excelling in midfield. Team from: M. F. Quirke, C. G.

CRICKET RETROSPECT It is not easy to report on the 1979 season. On the whole it was enjoyed by both the players and the spectators, but in some ways it was frustrating. The basic results tell their own story. Six matches were won, two lost and eleven drawn, of these all the four matches in Kent produced positive results, three wins and one loss.
