WAIMEA BEAT NELSON

NEWMAN SHIELD CRICKET J. HALL BOWLS WELL FOR COUNTRY TEAM The Newman Shield cricket match between Waimea and Nelson was concluded at Trafalgar Park cn Saturday, Waimea winning by the big margin of an innings and 192 runs and regaining the trophy which they lost to the city last season. Although the Nelson team was not as strong as that which beat Marlborough by an innings in the first Newman Shield game a fortnight ago it was a fine performance by Waimea. The bowler who contributed most to Nelson's poor showing in both innings was I J. Hall, whose fast right hand deliveries often rose sharply although the wicket was playing very true. In the first innings he bowled 15 overs, taking four wickets for 35 runs, and in the ; second took seven wickets off 16 overs for 35 runs, giving him averages of 8.75 and 5.00. H. Irvine took the remaining three wickets in the second innings at a cost of 27 runs. Four Nelson batsmen reached double figures in their second innings, Preece with 14 being top scorer. The Waimea team was as follows: A. Newman. S. Wilde. J. Hildyard, J. Caskie. R. Ralfe. H. Irvine. R. Knapp, , K. Hill. N. Hawkes. O. Burnett. J. Hall.
