This leit Y.M.C.A. with 160 to make to secure an outright win. Y.M.C.A.'s innings opened disastrous- I ly, two wickets falling quickly for the addition of only 10 runs. O’Keefe and Preece then became associated in a valuable partnership which realised 70 ! runs. Smith joined O’Keefe and the score mounted steadily both batsmen batting confidently against the accurate bowling of Hall ?nd Irvine. With his score at 74 O’Keefe was dismissed off a big hit while forcing the pace. His was an excellent innings the runs being made in a forceful style without any semblance of a chance.

The newcomer Walker was soon out , and Smith was run out shortly after- j wards. Knapp added a valuable 17 in short time but was then clean bowled by Hall the score still being 4 short of Waimea’s total. With 3 minutes to go Taylor, the last man in. took strike to Hall and off the third ball of the over he hit a boundary thus equalling the j scores.
