The Pilgrims tour was revived and proved to be a great success in every way. It was well supported, and particularly satisfactory that both pre-war Pilgrims and also those recently elected from among the war-time generation were well represented among the seventeen players who took part. The tour was run by a Committee consisting of R Eglington, J A Tallent and M S Glennie. The sides fielded were all good ones, with plenty of batting right down the order. In addition, H J C Bashford and M R G Earls-Davis bowled splendidly. Downside Wanderers were beaten by an innings and the matches with the School and the Somerset Stragglers were left drawn.
