We had an interesting season with the splendid weather of July and August making up for the damp May and our narrow defeat in the Cricketer Cup at Rugby. Our batting let us down badly at Commem and against the Town, and we deserved to lose both games. Our other defeat was at Radley and here we lost on the post after 540 runs had been scored at five an over. Our stay in Sherborne was a great success with excellent weather and good cricket.

Played 17: Won 4, Lost 6, Drawn 6, Abandoned 1.

The highlight of the season was our participation in the Cricketer Cup. We played some good cricket at Shrewsbury and it was a great pleasure to see a Pilgrims side play to its full potential. Charterhouse were too good for us but playing in better company, together with the competition for a place in the "Cup" side, must help to raise standards in the Club. After the terrible weather in May we only had the first match at Charterhouse rained off. Good weather and close finishes helped the Tour to be very enjoyable.
