TMS annihilate Adams Society in annual cricket match
The TMS team were victorious at the annual TMS v. Adams Society (the St John’s maths society) cricket match, played on 24 June 2005, winning by a comfortable 149 runs to 107 after 20 overs each.
A match report is available here. Sadly there are no photographs of this year’s match owing to the President’s inability to turn up with a functioning camera.
