Grand Finale

The grand finale to the 1974-75 senior cricket season was the president's versus chairman's teams match at the Harry Barker Reserve on March 22, A brilliant day saw the sun shine on chairman John Heikell's eleven which defeated president Frank Martin's team by 97 runs — 223 to 130 in fact. The end-of-season prizegiving was also held on the same day, a function enjoyed, as usual, by all concerned.
