Ernie Ackerman
Right-hand opening batsman who was also a none too competent wicket-keeper. His wife, Dolly, made delicious teas and he worked for Douglas of Kingswood.

David Pearce
Middle-order right-handed batsman, who bowled occasional off-spinners. Worked at one time for Johnson & Johnson, the baby powder people. His wedding took place on Monkey Island, Bray.
Herbie Hopkins
Veteran all-rounder, who was already in his fifties when he joined: aggressive right-handed batsman in the middle order and right-arm spinner. Worked for Douglas of Kingswood.
Tony Ferris
Excellent all-rounder: right-handed opening batsman and right-arm medium-paced bowler. Worked for Douglas of Kingswood.
M. Perry
Right-arm opening bowler.
