THE MATCHES ON SATURDAY

MANY GOOD SCORES. CENTURY TO KINSELLA The result of the competition matches on Saturday were all awaited with •much interest, though in most cases they were as expected. By securing a three point win against jpitham Okaiawa have again improved their 'position oh the championship ladder and there will be the keenest interest eehtred in their meeting with Midlands on Saturday next, the day which will see the concluding match of the second round. Patch have kept up their winning run by getting a three point win ovrir .Manaia and are making a strong finish after a very feeble- opening to- the season. 'Midlands had an easy win over Excelsior, getting with three wickets down the good total of 187, Kinsella making a line unbeaten century and playing excellent cricket. Old Hoys Were in good form and beat Jvaponga in a two innings match, thus adding three points to their championship total. •High Sc-hool had to lower their colours to' Stratford. La,y (Old Boys) had the remarkable howling figures of five wickets for three runs, bowling only two overs. By a coincidence there were no less than seven instances of a bowler pitting five wickets iri the afternoon. 'Penny got five in each innigs.

MIDLANDS BEAT EXCELSIOR). Batting first Midlands ran to- 187 for three wickets and declared. Kinsella arid Seager opened and the latter left at 15, a good one from VValkley_ clean bowling him. Orombie joined Kinsella and they took the -score to 97 before the former was stumped. Little went cheaply and then Jennings made a fine stand with Kinsella, both playing vigorous cricket and being both unbeaten when the -skipper decided at 187 to declare. Kinsella showed his -best form this season and gained the coveted century. ' Excelsior made a fairly good stand aften an indifferent opening, the third wicket partnership between Galvin and McKenzie being responsible for adding 57 runs. McCarthy, junr., was going fye.li and had 14 on the board when he got in front to one from Giblin. Malone did the same to Giblin without scoring arid then Walkley showed his- consistency with- the bat 'by getting 21 before being caught out off Treweek. He hit out vigorously and had a six and two fours in his total. Machin was unbeaten' with 9 to his credit but the rest •made little oppostion. Giblin was the most successful bowler for the win-fier-s. Score?; were as below :

OKAIAWA TROUNCE ELTHAM. iP- a low scoring match Okaiawa had an easy and decisive three-point win from Eltham. The wicket at Elthain was against high scores, and the only batsman to do any good was the reliable Penny, who put on no less than 67 out of Oltaiawa’s total of 100, and Atkins alone of the rest got double figures. Donnelly and Henn were the best of the Eltham trundlers. With only a moderate total to head, it looked as if Eltham should run their opponents close, but the bowling of Penny and Crawford in the first innings and the former again in the second was so deadly that Eltham were dismissed easily for a grand total of 71 runs, and were therefore beaten by an innings and 29 runs. Donnelly, with 10 in each innings, was the only batsman to make any showing for Eltham. Penny got 10 wickets for only 23 runs (five for 15 and five for BV. while Crawford took five for 22. Thomas helped materially in disposing of three opponents in the -second innings. Penny clean bowled .eight and Crawford four.
