A matter of satisfaction was the success of our bowlers, Holloway, Kirke, 
Waymouth and Moorhouse bearing the brunt of the work. We may specially 
mention Moorhouse’s performance against the Band of Brothers, and Kirke’s in 
the 2nd innings of the I. Zingari match. Kirke is just the sort of bowler we 
want (slow, left hand). Holloway and Waymouth were both consistently good 
throughout the season. Gunner Butler, too, at times was useful. 
As to the batting, Wynne, Straubenzee and Curteis played with marked success 
all through the season; whilst Strong and Foster (when we were lucky enough 
to get them) were most valuable. 
Among many good performances we may single out two, Wynne’s 142 (not out) 
against the Aldershot Division, and Straubenzee’s 102 against the Household 
Brigade. The former saved us from what looked likely to be an ignominious 
defeat, and the latter turned a doubtful result into a victory. 
We were unlucky in never succeeding in getting the services of Hine-Haycock 
and the two Hamiltons (“ B.S.” and ** P.D.’’) 
The fielding, all round, was up to the mark. Craig was excellent in the out- 
field and brought off some good catches. 
Cricketers from out-stations were most kind in putting themselves to in- 
convenience to come and play and we may fairly claim that our teams were 
representative ones. The Shoebury players, on more than one occasion, gave up 
their own matches to “‘ come over and help us’’—and such disinterested support 
is sure to make Regimental cricket a continued success. 
Since last season our turf has been re-laid—the R.A. Games’ Fund generously 
subscribing £40—and we confidently hope for improved wickets. 
We are taking steps to put the Pavilion in thorough repair. This is much 
needed. 
The hon. sec. has to thank Majors Abdy and Curteis for the benefit of their 
experience in conducting the club affairs, and also thanks our “ Gallery” for their 
presence, under conditions which are not altogether pleasant in our climate. 
Our programme for next season will follow the usual lines, but we are to have 
a new match at Linton Park on July 15-16, thanks to a very kind invitation from 
Mr. Cornwallis.
