The Crusaders recorded a massive win in their 3-day Varsity Match, beating the Authentics by an innings and 250 runs with a day to spare at Fenner's.
Cambridge resumed their first innings in ideal batting conditions, and proceeded to build an enormous first innings lead through Michael Carson and Gus Kennedy who both made fine centuries. Crusaders captain Reynolds declared midway through the afternoon session with the score approaching 500, leaving the demoralised 'Tics with over four sessions in which to salvage some respectability. They were soon in deep trouble however as skipper Reynolds took three wickets in two overs either side of the tea interval. It was only the positive approach of Michael O'Herlihy that ensured that the Authentics passed 100, with Geoff Wilmot dispatching the middle order to finish with 5-15. The final wicket was fittingly claimed by man-of-the-match Carson, precipitating a dash to the nearest phonebox to cancel Oxford's reservation for the evening at the local Travelodge.
