COLD CRICKETERS

PLAY OX SATURDAY. LEADING TEAM BEATEN. Cricketers in their flannels on Saturday felt the etfeet of the cold snap. Except for the Nomads-Whangarei game, where the bat got the better of the ball, scoring was mediocre. High School A, were downed for the first time, and School’s second string also suffered defeat. Portland came very close to beating Onerahi outright, bur the seasiders, with Railways and Hikurangi, gained two-pointers. Nomads and Whangarei will take a point each.

ONERAHI WINS,

Onerahi mot Portland on the latter's ground and had a first innings win by 20 runs. Time robbed the homo team of what looked like a throepoint win.
