In a year of unkind weather, Pilgrims cricket was mercifully treated and no match was spoilt by rain. Of nine matches played, only those against the School and the Hampshire Hogs were lost. The latter was an excellent game which was lost by only seventeen runs after we had seemed at one time in a good position to win. Esher, after a declaration, were beaten by two wickets on the stroke of time; the Somerset Stragglers were beaten by five wickets; the Old Wykehamists were soundly defeated in a two-day match, and finally we recorded our first victory over the Old Tonbridgians in a most exciting finish.

Of individual performances, perhaps the most notable were R N Chignell's two successive centuries; the successful debut of K A O'Connor, who scored runs consistently and, among the bowlers, the accuracy of P H Wakely and F M Anderton, around both of whom the attack was built. Milestones reached were the 50th appearance of P E Devitt and R Eglington in Pilgrims matches, P H Wakely's 100 wickets and R F S Chignell's 2,000 runs. Chignell is the first Pilgrims batsman to reach this total.
