Overview
The Story Of How Wrykyn Beat Ripton At Cricket The Ripton match was fixed for July the second, on the Ripton ground. Wrykyn was more anxious than usual to beat Ripton this year. Wrykyn played five schools at football, and four at cricket, and at both games a victory over Ripton would have made up for two defeats in Other games. Every public school which keeps the same fixtures on its card year after year sooner or later comes to regard a particular match as the match to be won. Sometimes this is because the Other school has gained a long run of victories, or it may be because neither can get far ahead in its score of wins, but wins and loses every Other year
