I made 0 1st Inns & 12 second inns 2nd highest score. I caught a good catch 1st Inns. It was quite a good day today after a long time. We are allowed to swim again. Steve has dived from the low board and I have dived from the high board which is over 10 feet. Isn’t that good? Our B drew with the Command A. Our A are playing the Rarayan Club this evening.
