CRICKET Up to the time of writing Old Suttonians are an unbeaten side. They do not deserve to be so since they were in imminent danger of defeat by the School, for whom Roy Taylor, the captain, scored a very brilliant century and a half out of 208. O.S. struggled dismally through a gloomy afternoon and weren't all out. That's about all we dare say. In the Brewers' Company Cup, with rather a different sort of side (due to Club League matches on Saturdays) they have beaten Old Hurst Johnians (234 to 180), St. Edmund's School Old Boys (125 to 126 for five wickets) and Old Johnians (Leatherhead) (245 for 7 to 218). This means that O.S. have reached the final of this competition for the second year and will meet Old Denstonians, their opponents in the final last year, on September 8th. We are all hoping that this time they wi 1 not be Bridesmaids but rather the "Blushing Brides".
O.S. F I V E S It has been suggested that there may be a number of O.S. fives players who would welcome the opportunity of getting into a court again. I f you are amongst their number, why not bring some gear down and work up a thirst before lunch on the day of the O.S. rugger match against the School. Balls and some gloves can be pro-, vided. If interested, please write to Michael Beaman at the School. BIRTHS M A C D O N A L D .
