Cricket The league fixture allowed the College to play two seasons. As many games that were

won by Gwebi were lost. The Rodney Mundy Memorial Double Wicket was won by the Erwine brothers, Neil and

Barry, for the second year in succession. In the final of the Loser’s Plate, Leith Bray and Angus Chisholm of Tengwe beat Tommy Millar and Butch Vaughan-Davies of Ayreshire.

Congratulations to Skea, Millar and West on being selected for the Mashonaland Country District Colts and Millar was Captain.

Rugby ‘Jake’ Bremner got the season off to a good start. Generally the season went well and

Gwebi lost most matches. A fine time was had on the tour to South Africa which Colin Campion managed and

some rugby was played. Fund raising benefitted from the Gwelo to Salisbury relay run. Hockey

Seven gruelling matches were played.

Athletics Michael Hallam and Mark Fraser stood out in their performances.

Squash Captain A Strathearn Secretary C D Croxford

23

www.gwebi.com.au

No matches were played but social squash was very popular as it was difficult to get a game on the busy court.

Tennis

Students played regularly amongst themselves, as did the staff. The contest of three pairs between both remains undecided at 1-1 matches.

Ploughing Disc results were Odendaal, followed by Oosthuysen, Bosman then Mitchell.

Mouldboard was Oosthuysen, Odendaal, Rowley then Layton Mitchell. Overall Champion was Odendaal and runner-up was Oosthuysen.
