  • Below Are Details of the Boys' 1 XI Cricket 1938 to 1969. Complete
    Below are details of the Boys’ 1st XI Cricket 1938 to 1969. Complete teams’ names are available from 1949 onwards. Information regarding early photographs in this section is somewhat sketchy. As with the other sports featured in this archive, the number preceding the pupil name is the school registration number of that particular pupil. If the number does not appear then that is either because there is no surviving school report in school detailing that pupil’s activities or the activity is not recorded on their report. The only other information we have therefore is from the school magazine, Roesian. Words in italics are drawn directly from Roesian. Boys Cricket st 1 XI (the first four photographs are by kind permission of Mr Nelson McGonagle) st Boys’ Cricket 1 XI Ernest Crockett Jack Adams Jack Austin Tony Murphy Billy McCully Victor Ryan John McCunn Ken Semple William Alcorn st Boys’ Cricket 1 XI Ernest Crockett Jack Adams Jack Austin William Alcorn Tony Murphy Jack Semple Billy McCully Victor Ryan John McCunn Ken Semple 1938 S P McGushin (Captain) ‘Since the Cricket season was longer than usual we were able to have a larger number of practices before the matches began. We had a team composed mostly of hard hitters with a few cautious batsmen to steady them in a crisis. The matches were, therefore, all the more exciting and there were few drawn games. While the younger members of the team were inclined to be rather venturous, their enthusiasm augurs well for our success in the coming season.’ ‘The Old Boys’ played the School 1st XI at cricket on 23rd June 1938.
