Sir, Two years ago I played hockey for former pupils of Gravesend Grammar School against the Old Gravesendians. Our left back was 80 years old (letter, June 22) and the right wing 13.

From Mr John Milford
Sir, I am a member of the Geriatric Cricket Club, Exeter, enjoying our 21st season. When we started the criterion was to be over 40; now most of us are over 60 and our wicketkeeper 80. Next year we travel to Barbados for possibly our final tour, on the ground of age.
