Here is another old Photograph of the Oorgaum A Cricket Team who were the winners of the Cricket League and Knock Out Tournament for the seasons 1947-48 and 1948-49 played at the Bombay Camp. Mr Walker, the Suptd of the Champion Reefs Mine and also the President of the League is seated in the middle and  Mr Ronnie nailor the Captain is beside him. Also part of the Team are Mr Antic and Mr. Stoke. This is specially for you Corneilia. (Mr and Mrs Nailor were our neighbours in Nandydroog and after they left for the UK, Kesari and his family became our neighbours)
This photograph along with many others was sent to me by Mr Roger Shrimpton the nephew of Mr Walker from the UK
