Craven have done very well this year, especially so in the
Summer Term, when we won the Swimming and Athletic Cups, and
tied with York for the Cricket Cup. |
|
RUGBY. We were unable to repeat last year's success, when
we won the Cup. In the Senior League we lost every match,
although the juniors redeemed us in a small way, by gaining
some measure of success. The main drawback of the Senior ieam
was that it lacked weight, though it certainly did not lack
spirit. Credit should be given to Catlow, Roberts, Smith P.,
and Wilkinson, all of whom played very well. |
|
SOCCER. During the bad weather in the Spring Term, we
played in the House Soccer League. The Seniors now came into
their own, for they beat Lancaster 3-1 and York 4-1. The
Juniors also beat York, but lost to Lancaster. |
|
MARATHON.
We entered this event with an almost un changed team from last
year, but unfortunately we did not do quite so well and came
third. |
|
BOXING. This year's
team consisted of D. Smith, White ii, job, White i,
Schofield ii, Birkbeck i, White iv, Wood, and Hay i. All the
team fought very well, and there were some very good fights.
Smith, White ii, Wood and Birkbeck won their fights. |
|
SWIMMING. We won the Swimming Cup once again, to make it
four times running. The seniors did very much better this
year, and.gained 24 very useful points. Wilbnson and Schofield
both swam well, and together won the Senior Diving. |
| The
Middle School also did well, with Wood, Caul, Blay and Palmer
gaining first places. In the juniors, White ii and Kenyon also
gained firsts. |
| In
the Relays we came third in the Seniors, but first in the
Middle and junior. In the Grand Relay we were second to
Lancaster. |
|
ATHLETICS. Craven put a great fight and won the cup. Our
main strength lay in the Middle School, most of our points
being gained by them, particularly by Wilkinson, Kenyon and
Rogers who gained his third Victor Ludorum. |
| The
juniors also did well, with Birkbeck i and Haighton tying for
the Junior Victor Ludorum. The Seniors were not as successful
and only had four finalists. |
|
CRICKET. Here again the Juniors gained most of the glory,
by winning both their matches. The Seniors beat Lancaster, but
lost to York. Against Lancaster, Catlow was top scorer, with
27, out of a total of 47, and also the best bowler, for he
obtained a hat trick without a run being scored against him.
Against York, the batting collapsed, and only some determined
defence by Woodhouse and Sykes saw the total past 60. When
York batted though, our bowlers were not so effective, and we
lost by five wickets. |
