Rongotea

CRICKET From Our Own Correspondent.

On Monday last the Rongotea cricket team journeyed to Taikorea to play a friendly game. Rongotca, who had the batting first, compiled 147 runs. Lunch was then provided by tho Taikorea ladies, which was greatly appreciated. After lunch Taikorea commenced their innings, but could only compile 30 runs, as a result of outstanding bowling by J. Burgess and E. W. Gust for Rongotea. On their second visit to the wickets Taikorea did a little better in that they replied with 33 Tuns, thus leaving Rongotea the victors by an innings and 80 runs. Double-figure scorers for Rongotea wero A. Arnott 51, E. Tunnicliffo 14, R. Gloyn 15, G. Burgess 11, Fred Wright 31, 11. Hughes 11. Bowling for Taikorea in the first innings G. Burgess did remarkably, well taking 8 wickets for 13 runs. E. W. Gust took 4 wickets for 17 runs, and in tho second innings the bowling analysis was: F. Wright, senr., 9 wickets for 15 runs; V. Tunnicliffe, 2 for 7; H. Blaxland, 1 for 9. Town Board
