KAPONGA SCORE WELL

SEVEN WICKETS FOR 209 HAWERA EASILY DEFEATED THREE BATSMEN SCORE 59 Although. Hawera uia-de - the fair total of 139 rflns against Kaponga, the home team experienced littiei difficulty in passing that/score and continued to have 209 runs on the board for the •loss of seven wickets when stumps were drawn. Three players in the match •passed the half century —Reg. Eden arid Dormer (Kaponga) and Des Forges (Hawera)— -each of whom eoincidentaliy made 59 runs. Dormer retired after his score.

With., the exception of 21 by Mould, Des Forges’ strike was the only bright spot in Hawera’s innings. He hit live fours and two sixes. Not another member of the team reached double figures. “Mr-Extras” contribution of 22 was valuable. However, with the exception of the last jm'an, who was not out; each player opened his account. Harrison, .with three for 14, was Kaponga’s most successful bowler. S. Betts took three for 24. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ' •

’Keg. Eden and Court (15) carried the Kaponga score to 44 before Court Whs dismissed. Eden was particularly aggressive and the bulk, of bis ruus came from boundary hits. He hit no, fewer than 11 fours and' one six before ho was xuit out. With the advent of Dormer, runs again came quickly ;and Hawera’s total was passed shortly after the fall of the fourth wicket. Dormer was not as aggressive as Keg. Eden, but he had six fours to his credit when he retired. Toward the close of the innings, the Hawera bowling was hit unmercifully. Thirty-four runs were scored from Meuli in three overs. V. Betts, in his seoTe of 39, include dtwp sixes, both hit from Evetts in one over. Penny bore the brunt of the bowling and in 13 overs took two wickets 42. ' - !i ' " ' ‘ . ' V :: Scores are: — i!
