TECHNICAL v. HOKITIKA D.H-S

The first inter-school cricket match between Greymouth Technical High and Hokitika District High Shools was played on the Technical High School grounds on Saturday, the Greymouth School eleven winning tire game by an innings and 13 runs. Rain interfered somewhat with the play. The game was an interesting one, providing some good cricket. Good performances were registered with the bat by Tennent (25), Rose (12), and J. Shuttleworth (15) for Technical High, and Wilson (15) and Stoop (17) for the visitors. Bowling for Technical High, Tarrant took 2 for 7, Lindbom 5 for 15, and 3 for 11, Shaw 4 for 14 and 4 for 4, and Shuttleworth 2 for 6. For the visitors French took 6 for 28. A feature of the game was some fine wicket-keeping by Shaw (Tech.) and the winners’ good fielding. Hokitika were used to playing on concrete wickets, and were handicapped in that respect on the grass pitch at the school.
