CRICKET lsr XI Of the seven matches so far played, three have been won, two favourably drawn and two interestingly lost. For the first time for a number of years, Kettering Grammar School were convincingly beaten both at home and away. Of the seventeen players who played for the lst Xl last year, fourteen were again available, only seven of whom have commanded a regular place. There was, therefore, competition for places and for reasons of future team building as well as the potential ability of others, there were a number of changes from the outset, which results seem to have justified in terms of batting and bowling figures. The batting has been more consistent, and the technique more studious and adventurous than in the previous year. Batsmen who seemed so very reluctant then to use their feet against bowlers have done so to advantage this season. It has been a pleasure also to see later batsmen making runs when the earlier and recognised ones have failed. Kitson, Leeson and P. G. Tomkins have batted with success, the key of which has been concentration and effort. Improvement of Barden on last year's form has been very evident and he has done well as a regular opener. In bowling, the School has a varied attack, again in contrast to previous seasons,when only one effective slow bowler merited a place. James and P. G. Tomkins have bowled well and with hostility and have been commendably supported by P. A. Tompkins, when required. Of the slow bowlers, P. E. Jackson has had the greater opportunities but Perkins as a leg-break bowler, though not sufficiently quick through /- the air, has bowled a iength, thereby commanding respect. Barden, in the capacity of slow left-hander,has not had many chances,though he took useful v,'icketsagainst Bedford N{odern. The side has been thoughtfuliy led by Kitson, who has piaced the field well and used the bowling to good effect. One ought also to remark upon the keen spirit pervading the side this year. The prospects for the remainder of the seasontherfore seem good. Resulrs I lth May v. Northamp'ton G.S. Lost by 4 wickets. W.G.S. 143 for 5 dec. (Kitson 63, Leeson 4-5).

W.G.S. 72 (Leeson 26). Kettering G.S. 46 (P. A. Tompkins 3 for 6, P. G. Tomkins 3 for 5). 25th June v. King's School, Peterborough. Won by 8 wickets. King's School 71 (Perkins 4 for 14, P. Jackson 3 for l8). W.G.S. 75 for 2 (Leeson 24 n.o., Kitson 24 n.o.). 2No XI Despite a most disappointing record the 2nd XI has provided some of the most exciting cricket of the season. In five of the eight matches played so far, victory could have gone to either side if one catch had been held or five minutes more could have been allowed. Against Kettering, in reply to 65, we were 50 for 4 but the later batsmen collapsed; Oundle School won with three balls remaining in the last over; Bedford Modern Colts, after struggling behind the clock for nearly the whole of their innings, hit out in desperation in the last three overs and also won with three balls remaining; whereas both Kettering (in the return match) and Laxton had an opening batsman who batted throughout and shielded his team-mates from the bowling until time had been played out.
