Banks, Bilby, Prince, and Malcolm were all out with only 22 runs on the board, but H. Foley and D. Burt made a fifth wicket performance which has only twice being exceeded in local club cricket. Playing themselves in, they were soon confident, and then carried on in- aggressive' fashion. Bowling changes made Ettle difference to them, and from 100 they went oh to pile up another century, and on again until both succeeded in running into three figures. ■ Finally at 276 the partnership was broken, but it had been one of the best dn record, realising 254 runs. ,- Burt's contribution was 120, including a six, a five and twelve fours.
