He kept wicket in the Cricket XI of 1927, and represented the school at Rackets in the same year. He was always a plucky boxer, and in his last year boxed against Bradfield. Soon after leaving Radley he spent some time in Australia, where he married, and not long before the war he and his wife came to live near Wantage.
