The spearhead of the attack were the bowlers and in particular Christopher and Mumford, who bowled exceptionally well.

However, the fielding of the side was well under par and didn't do us - or the bowler's figures - justice.

The batting was often inconsistant and subsequently we didn't give the opposition too high a target. So we always relied on our bowlers who saved us many a game.

Overall the season wasn't too bad - but if progress is to be made in the future then batting and fielding will have to be improved.

The high attendance at the morning session - these were volluntary was indicative of the new found enthusiasm especially amongst the 3rd and 4th form.

Swimming is a difficult sport to train at for without proper coaching, pacing up and down in the baths soon becomes tedious. Variety; an essential element characterised our sessions and kept up interest.

I found it remarkable to observe particular team members. Who through their devotion and hard work in the water and gymnasium continually chipped seconds off their times to reach very respectable standards.

These manor achievements on a personal level , I believe served as an-incentive to train, helped maintain, the- interest and involved a healthy competitive spirit.

However, an analysis of the gala results during the season, if we take -a win as success and defeat as failure; does not accurately illustrate the teams capabilities. Many fixtures. were won or lost by a narrow points margin caused at times by faulty starts and turns.

After a pleasing start, a bad patched followed but the victories against the RMA Sandhurst and AAC Arborfield (former Junior Army Champions) enabled us to finish on a high note. A deserved reward for the serious training throughout.

A brief look at the school and match records broken and equalled against Holbrook is a better representation of the groups ability.
