BGS 1st XI 1946
Back: KH Meakin, JD Starbuck, DJ Thompson, GH Mainprize, J
Wood, D Brearley
Front: H Salter, R Dent, RA Adams (capt) JA Clubb, GA
Haines
I can't remember any results, though they will all be in
the "Cygnets" which Norman Binns keeps. Adams and Salter were both
excellent spin bowlers and Dent a pretty mean quick bowler while Brearly
kept wicket well. I think Haines was the best of our batsmen. (John

Played on Old Memorial Ground
Back row: Mike Hamilton,Gerald Mainprize,Rob
Hazelhurst, John Brown,John Mander, Spadge Major, Umpire Bill Souster.
Front Row: Doug Aitken, P.C.H. Davies, Ted Warren,Ken Shilton
The cricket Old Boys team was the last one to play the school on the Old
Memorial Ground before it was taken over for a new road system. In those
days masters used to coach boys after school. Frank Read, swimming, Ron
Illingworth, cricket & Jake Hammond, rugby. House matches were held on
Saturday mornings and you were expected to attend wearing school caps and
were punished if you forgot the cap.

The scorecard for the Old Boys v School
cricket match dated 1951 is in fact for the 1956 match and the photo
immediately above that dated 1948 must be, I would think, 1957 as the
school was at Winshill after that and if Ted Warren says that was the last
to be played at the Memorial Ground it would fit in. Also Mick Hamilton
started BGS in 1950 and left in 1956.
