CRICKET.

THE ASHBURTON COMPETITIONS The Ashburton > Cricket Association opened its season on Saturday in sunny weather, with a cool southerly breeze blowing. There aye four teams in the senior grade and four in * the junior. Scoring in the senior grade was for the most part not very high, a lack of practice being probably responsible. On the other hand, some very fine bowling averages were recorded. Results Avere:—-
