29 - Edwards & Keeping Cricket Team for the Dorchester Evening League Cup Final in 1962. Not strictly a Hardyeans' photo this, but of some relevance: Edwards & Keeping were a local firm of accountants for whom several Old Boys all worked at that time.

Back row: Ron Cave, Bob Pickersgill, Ernie Middle, Graham Stevens, George Ball, Mansell Read, Margaret Samways (now Prince); Front Row: Den Perry, Doug Read (Mansell's son), Mike Pratt, John Keeping, Richard 'Knocker' Knox. Messrs Cave, Pickersgill, Middle and Doug Read were all Old Boys. John Keeping was a Dorchester Grammar School Old Boy and was a governor of Hardye's. He also was an Old Hardyeans officer.
