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!!!
