| At the tea interval of the 1989 President’s match, in front of the pavilion at the Seeboard ground, Burford Bridge, Saturday 15th July 1989. The President’s XI gather before the start of their innings, ready to set off in pursuit of the current XI’s total of 152 (see the other photograph of the pair for details of that innings). Openers Steve Pitts (15) and Roy Gordon (13) would not last long, but an unbroken 123 run third wicket partnership between Robin Suggate (44 no.) and Alan Tickner (77 no.) would see the President’s side home with half of the last twenty overs still to be bowled. | |

(back row) Steve Pitts, David Dries, Robin Suggate,
Brian Moore, Dave Tickner, Tim Butt and Giles Smeath (no, it
definitely isn’t Chris Morgan, I’ve checked the scorebook)
(front row, seated) Geoff Duke, Allan Butt, Laurence Pitts (President), Roy Gordon and Alan Tickner |
