My father, Philip Lambert, was an inveterate recorder of events and names. I have an old cricket photograph of the Box Cricket Club Married v Single Match of 1908, when the club split players into teams depending on their marital status. He named the men from memory and for one of them he put ? Moody. This is the man fourth from the left in the second row, without a hat, standing between the man in a trilby and what looks like a Stenson.
I wondered if this could be the Frederick John Moody of Henley one of the finest sportsmen in Edwardian Box mentioned In
Karen Fretwell's article about the Moody Family in the last issue of the website? I see that Frederick was married in 1908 so he could have been playing for either side.

Can anyone add more about the "Married v Singles" matches or about the people in the photo?
