Conditions were perfect for the cricket on Saturday in the South Taranaki championship competition.

School and Hawera B, after making only 36 and 38 respectively in the first innings, put on a capital score in their second innings. ■Stratford B somewhat unexpectedly won from the A team and this altered the position of the ladder of championship points.
