After our 254 v Weasels in Sept 1991 at the Peel Centre in Hendon

Back row: Andy Burman, Milton Jolin (West XI guest played a few for us), Rich Wilman (fine player for us, he scored a 50 in this game adding 126 with Ashton), Richard Sambrook Smith (not hyphenated, brilliant keeper, he and Burman put on 57 for the first wicket in this game, including a ran 5!), Roger Farr, Dan Todd.

Front row: John Townley, Mark Ashton (93 not out in this game), Des Dolan (quality bowler), Ian Maughan (superb batsman), Frank Gallagher (wonderful scorer).

This was our finest hour to date. The picture was taken by Weasel skipper Bill Flack. Weasels replied with a feisty 200 plus with Jeremy Best scoring a century but Gents won.

The etymology of GWLCC is eloquently demonstrated here. University of York graduates were Burman, Farr, Townley, Ashton and Dolan. Gallagher got kicked out for being too lazy.

The following photos appear to be of West XI on tour, with Ashton tarting. A certain Mr Bignell can be seen umpiring.
