©ASTER HOLIDAY MATCHES,

A TRIAL GAME

iWith a view to obtaining practice for the representative matches to be played in Auckland during the Easter, holidays the Whangarei "Cricket Association arranged for a match at the 'Maunu Road ground on Saturday [between the .player's chosen to visit Auckland and a mixed team from the four clubs in and near Whangarei.

Unfortunately the weather was un- v promising during the early part # the afternoon, and this possibly ac-* ■ counted for the absence of a number of players. Only eight members of

the representative team put in an ai •pearance, while the opposing teai had nine of the regular competitio players, schoolboys being included i each case to make up the eleven. A G. Crickett captained the represer ■tative team and R A. Barnsdale thei j opponents. I The latter went in to bat while th [ rain was falling.
