The first representative match of the season to be played locally was staged on Easton Park yesterday, when the Foxton reps, played a return match with Horowhenua. In their first meeting at Levin the Horowhenua A team easily defeated the “locals,” but in the return match yesterday the “locals”’ turned the tables. The visitors’ combination, however, was practically a B team, as their A’s were playing Manawatu. Winning the toss, Horowhenua elected to take first strike, and ran up a total of 77 runs (Wallace 21, Walker 16, Harvey 13). Eoxton replied with 65 runs, Woods (24) being the only player to reach double figures. In their second inning 3 Horowhenua compiled 109 runs (Evans 27, Bishop 27, Watts 18, Prance 15). Requiring 122 runs to -win in about l:i hours, Poxton commenced their second strike, and at the drawing of stumps had lost 5 wickets for 125 runs, thus winning the match by the small margin of four nms. The chief scorers were Woods (14), Hirin; (28), Nichols (35), Newth (23), Roorc (18). It was a great effort on the part of the "locals,” each batsman going strongly for the bowling. four or live minutes to go, Poxton wanted about 10 runs to win, and amid vreat excitement from the “bank” these nms and three to spare were secured -just on the call of time.
