The Stragglers of Asia

The Club was founded in 1925, and by 1939 its fixture list had grown to eighteen. In 1945, a small advertisement appeared in The Times asking any interested Stragglers to meet. Six Stragglers appeared and it was decided to start again and six matches were arranged for 1946, printed on a fixture card the size of a cigarette packet. With the reduction in the armed forces, new players are now mainly civilian and the military nature of the club has changed. At the time of writing, the Club has over 400 members and a fixture list featuring over 50 high quality matches.
