Another problem is at the mound, where Shepard faces the problem of replacing his number one and number two hurlers from last year. Dave Larking graduated, and Tom Boone, who is workbag on a thesis, hasn't come out for practice yet. The only serious loss in the infield was Al Martin, the club's leading batsman last year...
