M a rg a re t's , one of the most thriving clubs iu the Tnames valley, has a strong card. Its opponents are mostly confined to clubs in its own district, and, indeed, the only distant matches are those on June 5 and 7, against Westgate- on-Sea and Ramsgate College respect­ ively. Though it is feared that he will not be able to bowl owing to a strain, C. J. East will again captain the team, and under his command a successful season is anticipated. J. H. C. Dunster- ville. St. Margaret’sRoad, St. Margaret’s, is Hon. Sec. The club leases a private ground in St. Margaret’s Road. M\Y. 8 Sr. Uargr.trotJ, v. Wllr's'ten '5. Molesev, v. K>i>t Mol^-nny 2f. St. Mar-fwrut"*, v.
