The opening series of matches in the Hastings competition were completed on Saturday when two three-point victories were recorded. At Nelson Park, Hastings defeated Tomoana by 44 runs on the first innings, and at Cornwall Park Old Boys succeeded m likewise by 42 runs against Whakatu who narrowly failed completely turning the tables, time being called with them wanting only three runs to secure an outright win. HASTINGS 0.8. v. WHAKATU In reply to Hastings Old Boys score of 135 the overnight tally of 82 for seven wickets was increased to 93 by Whakatu who then dismissed Old Boys for the low total of 87, Graham again heading the list with 28 and Bartie next w J th 19. Requiring 129 to completely turn the tables Whakatu made a great bid for victory and when time wag called they required but two to draw and the last wicket to fall, consequently Old Boys secured the honours on the first innings aggregates.
