THE UCT staff cricket team has had a tough start to their season, conceding copious numbers of runs in their games against a Constantia Uitsig invitation side — a side littered with ambidextrous club players as a mortified UCT team discovered on the morning of the contest — and a just-too-good outfit from Kelvin Grove.

Alan Scott of the department of Civil Engineering here plays one of the UCT side's few aggressive shots in their outing at Constantia Uitsig.

Those staff members — men or women — who enjoy a game of sociable Sunday cricket and stoical companionship over an ale, and are not afeard of a little sporting humiliation, are welcome to call Megan Morris at 650-3735 or email memorris@bremner.uct.ac.za should they wish to join the team for a game or two.
