Bradfield First XI Cricket 1956

A throwback to a winning team

Thanks to the help of Stephen Farr, Peter Workman and Antony 'Jumbo' Fuller we have managed to add all the names to a photograph of the 1956 Bradfield First XI Cricket team.

The picture came to light with the recent passing of Nigel Thomas whose family were in touch with the Bradfield Society and we set about trying to name everyone on the photo below. The project is now complete as follows:

Back row: 1. Peter Eacersall, 2. Derek Morgan,  3. John Sketchley, 4. Miles Emberton, 5. John Allday, 6. Bill Morris

Seated from left: 11. William Gurney, 10. Peter Workman, 9. Edward Lewis (Captain), 8. Nigel Thomas, 7. Robert Farr
