Optimists won the toss and after one wicket had gone for 4 Hicken and Elliot became associated in a fruitful partnership which added 94 for the second wicket. Millar, who was very aggressive, then joinod Wilson, who, batting very freely, was scoring with nice shots ail round the wicket. J. O’Connell caught Wilson in two minds when the total was 140 but when Wilson departed victory was in sight. Wilson knocked up 70, including 13 four 3 and it was a very line innings. Millar then took up tho role of run-getter and Ueaphy and then Myers assisted him to knock up enough to head Optimists’ total, Millar and Myers being together when the match was won.
