CLUB CRICKET

GAMES IN HAWKE'S BAY HASTINGS OLD BOYS BAT WELL. RECORD BATTING AGGREGATE OF SEASON. The concluding series of the second round of the Hastings senior grade cricket competition were commenced on Saturday, where there was a variety of performances. The wickets were hard and fast, favouring the batsmen rather than the bowlers, who, however, succeeded in securing a surprising number of wickets throughout the day. Old Boys struck batting form against last season’s champions, Tomoana, and compiled 229, the highest aggregate of this season in club games. This success was largely duo to a splendid knock by Beuth, who, in his initial appearance in this district, put together 89 runs in excellent fashion. In the bowling line Mitchell lived up to his reputation and captured eight wickets at a cost of 114 runs. Tomoana have lost two wickets for 31 in reply. In the second senior match Hastings made 142, the effort being disappointing considering that Watkins contributed a bright and lively 78, more than his ten companions combined succeeded in doing. Whakatu were fighting hard when stumps were drawn with six wickets down for 86 runs. H. 5.0.8. v. TOMOANA This game was played on Cornwall Park and Old Boys batting first were dismissed for 229 runs. Batting for Old Boys the best displays were given by M. Beuth 89, Fippard 28 and Newdiek 24. In Beuth’s display he hit no less than 12 boundaries. Bowling for Tomoana, Mitchel] delivered 22 overs and was most successful, taking eight wickets for 114 runs. With about an hour to play Tomoana commenced their innings and had lost two wickets for 31 runs when stumps were drawn. The details are as under. — H. 5.0.8. First Innings.

SENIOR GRADE. UNITED v. H. 5.0.8. United had no difficulty in securing a first innings victory against H. 5.0.8.

The best batting display was given by J. Stevens, who con tributed 52 useful runs to United’s score before he was caught off T. Reaney.

TECHNICAL 0.8. v, ST. JOHN'S. The eound position in which Technical 0.8. placed themselves in their first innings against St. John's, when they made 362, stood them in good stead and enabled them to secure a first innings victory. Their high score was needed, however, for St. John’s made a gallant endeavour to catch up to them by knocking up 223 in their answering innings. Fitzwater, Brain and White were responsible for most of the latters’ runs. For Technical 0.8. E. Elliott and Pirie secured the majority of the wickets, the bowling of the latter being especially steady. In an endeavour to secure a fourpointer, Technical ordered St. John’s to follow on, but their hopes were soon dashed to the ground when the latter took command of the bowling and raised the score to 216 for the loss of eight wickets. In this innings Finlayson and Chadwick were to the fore, the former scoring 62 and the latter 47. The scores are as follow: — TECHNICAL 0.8. First Innings 362 ST. JOHN’S. First Innings.
