CRICKET Grey School Team’s Easy Win Over Canterbury

A Greymouth secondary school team, in a match played yesterday at the Recreation Ground, defeated a Canterbury secondary school (under 16 years) team, by 92 runs. The best batsman of the match was Albertson (Canterbury) who scored 63 runs, and had to retire because of an injury. Albertson was the only player in the Canterbury team to score above five runs. The best batsmen for Greymouth were A. Rowe, who scored 29, Bayley 27, J. Ackland 25, and G. Dick 26 Only the good bowling of Hobbs, who took five wickets for 27 runs, kept the Greymouth batsmen from getting bigger scores. The Canterbury team left on their return last evening.
