The fixture list was increased to almost its pre-war length. The cricket was well supported and favoured by wonderful weather; the season was a great success. Twenty-seven members played and it was particularly good to have one or two of the School XI in the teams. P H F Mermagen took part for the first time for many years, and F King and M M Walford, two of the honorary members, gave most welcome support. It was just a pity that on the eve of the tour two or three members were claimed for county cricket, and numbers once or twice dwindled to a bare eleven, with no reserves.

The sides were always good ones, though for at least three of the matches on tour the absence of a recognised pace bowler was a handicap. In the opening match the School played excellently and we were decisively defeated. This was perhaps before the side had found its feet, for afterwards we were always sufficiently strong for the opposition. The Dorset Rangers and Downside Wanderers were well beaten by nine and ten wickets respectively and the drawn games with the Somerset Stragglers, the Old Wykehamists and the Hampshire Hogs were all extremely even ones and contained much good cricket.

The Hogs match provided an exciting finish to the tour. With two balls of the last over to go, the Hogs required three runs to win. No runs were scored and with his last ball P H Wakely clean bowled the batsman. After the game against the School the batting was generally adequate. R F S Chignell was outstandingly successful. In six innings he scored 398 runs with an average of 79.6 and his century against the Old Wykehamists was a great effort. He was well supported by M S Glennie and W J Eldridge. The brunt of the bowling was most nobly borne by the slow bowlers, R A G Duff and J S W Lush.
