7 / 51
THE CAPTAIN RICHARD SEARS MORE
OFTEN THAN NOT LOSES THE TOSS, SO
THE SCHOOL SIDE FIND THEMSELVES
FIELDING FIRST IN NINE OUT OF THE
TWELVE MATCHES
A SOCCER INJURY TO CHRISTOPHER
SEXTON MEANS THE XI IS WITHOUT
THEIR FIRST CHOICE WICKET KEEPER
AND LEADING BATSMAN - HE STILL
AVERAGES 65 IN THE FEW INNINGS HE
PLAYS
A THIRD WICKET STAND OF 182
BETWEEN THE CAPTAIN AND SIMON
NORTHCOTE-GREEN AGAINST THE
CRYPTICS ALLOWS THE XI TO DECLARE
AT 206-1 BUT THE MATCH IS STILL LOST
BY 3 WICKETS!
SIMON NORTHCOTE-GREEN AND HIS
BROTHER CHRISTOPHER TOGETHER
WOULD PLAY SIX SEASONS IN THE 1970S
FOR THE SCHOOL XI
