Cricket

Played 14: Won 4, Lost 2, Drawn 7, Abandoned 1.

In 1963 Pilgrims cricket plumbed the depths; in 1964 there was a welcome revival. The results were much better, more purposeful and entertaining cricket was played and the tour was both successful and enjoyable.

Played 13: Won 2, Lost 5, Drawn 5, Abandoned 1.

It was a splendid achievement to beat the might of Hampstead in the first of what is hoped will become a permanent fixture, and it was even more remarkable that at closing time the team was able to render an impressive version of The Carmen for the benefit of the members of the Hampstead Club. Many congratulations to Bill Morgan on organising both these feats! When one has said that, however, one has said most of what was good about Pilgrims cricket in 1963.
