| David 'Irongloves' Boothroyd,
stalwart of village cricket. Although well up in the order at No. 9
(No.10 being aged 10 and No.11 absent), he did not repay his
captain's confidence, being bowled through one of several gates.
"Not," he said "one of my better primaries."

Rt Hon David Blunkett MP from an early age. "We had
to prove to ourselves that we could do things and we had to prove to

| Horsehouse Formals
CC, a
Yorkshire club, have made Primary Club membership compulsory for any
team member who qualifies - in effect the whole team. The picture
shows the Formals team that played Jesus College All Stars, Oxford.
Although Imogen Hall (front row, right) was comprehensively bowled
first ball, she was spared the embarrassment of a primary by the
Formals umpire, Tim Slater (front row, second from left, bearded).
He no-balled the All Stars bowler for wearing a cravat. |
