NEWMAN SHIELD

NELSON V. MOTUEKA HOME SIDE PARE BETTER IN SECOND INNINGS ‘ lu the Newman Shield match, Nelson j v. Motueka, on Saturday, Motueka s first ’ 1 innings realised 160 runs, closing alter *! half an hour's play in the afternoon. • j Webster reached 76 runs, including ! r eleven fours, and his innings was an in- , valuable one for Motueka, who led Nel. son iu the first innings by 27 runs. Karsteu and Neale opened Nelson s second innings at 2.20 p.m. to the bowli ; ing of Stevens and Eggers. After the ton runs were on the board a confident appeal from half a dozen fieldsmen for a caldi behind the wickets when Neale was batting was unsuccessful. Smith relieved Stevens, who, bowling a medium-fast ball, had kept a good length, getting more life out of the pitch than yesterday. Neale, who was beginning to open out brightly, booked Smith to square leg where Bowers brought off a fine running catch. 31—1 —17. Karsteu hit two fours jn succession off Smith, and then hit the next ball hard and high, and the bowler almost effected what would have been a brilliant catch. Karsteu brought his 50 up in 70 minutes with a. four to the square leg boundary. Tile total was then 87. A. Newman, who bad succeeded Neale, was then caught and bowled by Eggers, who took a catch low down. 87 —2-—ls. Delaney was the incoming batsman, and was almost immediately bowled by Clark. 90—3—1.

A GOOD PARTNERSHIP

With R. Ralfe in, the century came up after 90 minutes, just before the tea adjournment. Ralfe, who was bailing attractively, gave a chance to Clark close in on the leg side, • which was dropped. Karsteu ran into his seventies, quickly followed by Ralfe reaching his 30, and the total was 140. Ralfe opened out and hit three fours in quick succession. When the partnership was worth 65, and Karsteu had 76, he was clean bowled by Eggers after being at the wickets for two and a half hours. The outgoing batsman had played a splendid innings iu which he had given onlv one very difficult chance. 155—4—76. Ralfe ran into his fifties and was showing fine form, lie had scored 58 when ;m appeal for l.b.w. was successfid. 192-6-58. Eggers at 1 his stage had four wickets for 51 rims. Johnson went l.b.w. to Clark a few minutes later. 195—7—2. Stewart was Egger’s fifth victim, as tlie 2CO runs appeared on the hoard after 5 hours 20 minutes play in the innings. 200—8—1. Smith, commencing his ninth over, obtained Campbell’s wicket, l.b.w. 211—9 —7. J. Newman livened matters considerably and hit 12 off one over of Eggers. Newman continued to hit merrily, attacking practically every ball, and with Vass playing a very steady game, the pair began a last wicket partnership of 56 runs. Tile innings ended at 6.10 p.m., having lasted 3 hours 50 minutes.

MOTUEKA LOSE TWO WICKETS

Motueka. were thus faced with the prospect of getting 241 runs to win. Kinzett and 11. Fowler opened the innings. | Kinzett had two lives, Campbell and i Stewart dropping him, and then lie was taken by Ralfe at mid-on. 13—1—6. A. Newman took a brilliant catch in Hie slips to dismiss Clarke off J. Newman’s bowling. 24—2—7. At the close of play the total was 26 runs for two wickets.
