Year 1987
Transcription THE 9TH/12TH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL
The Bellamy Bowl for the best young
crickete: went to Tpr Keeney (D Sqn)
who was closely pressed by Tprs
Thomas, Derbyshire, Mitchell and
Henderson. W02 (RQMS) Bellamy.
who retires in March. can rest assured
that the trOphy will be well contested in
future years. The Taylor Trophy for
the leading wicket taker went to Capt
Simpson who also topped the batting
and bowling averages closely followed
by Major Short.
The coming season will be patchy as
we lose a lot of cricketers to the Cyprus
Tour. Although we lose Capt Simpson,
Sgt Taylor. LCpl Barnett, Tpr Thomas
and others we hope to have gained
some talent in Major Lindsay and
Major Hopkinson.
There is plenty of incentive for the
coming season, especially in Side bets
as to who can clear the sight screen
and hit the target area seen below.
Majors Bennett and Lindsay beware!!!
