DISTRICT CRICKET

WEEK END RESULTS UNITED v. MARIST B. The West Coast Cricket Association’s competition was continued yesterday, in warm fine weather, despite rain in the morning. Wickets generally were good and grounds, fast. Runanga, the leaders in the competition did not arrive on the Recreation Ground for their match with Marist A. until 2.45, owing to some misunderstanding as to whether the game was to be played. A start was then made and a bright game, in which over 360 runs were scored in three hours ten minutes, ended in a draw. United were again successful this time at the expense of Marist 8., whom they defeated by 36 runs, after an interesting game. Cobden A. secured a two-point win over Stars, while the Cobden B — Brunner match was abandoned owing to rain.

Marist third graders scored a threepoint win over Camerons at Camerons'.
