Last Suburban Round

Beckenhan; strengthened Its position in the Suburban Cricket Association’s senior grade when the tenth and last round matches began on Saturday. After scoring 170 in its first innings, Beckenham captured seven Aranui wickets cheaply. R. Townsend had the rewarding figures of four for 16. Waltham gave an improved batting display, scoring 234 against Burnside. R. Cooper and Neville Clark both scored half centuries.
