Senior NEXT SATURDAY’S GAMES Mangataiore v. Nomads at Mangataiore. Victoria Valley v. Kaitaia at Victoria Valley. Peria a bye. FIRST INNINGS VICTORY TO MANGATAIORE A great innings of 66 by Nigel Rogers saved the Kaitaia seniors from an awkward position as the remainder of the team contributed only 60 runs. Conditions were ideal but accurate ar.d steady bowling supported by keen fielding by Mangataiore kept the Kaitaia batsmen subdued. S. Kitchen and S. Switzer bowled particularly well to capture three wickets apiece. Nigel Rogers gave a fine all-round display and his score included two fours and five sixers. With their outright win against Peria last week the Nomads are new two points in the lead. Scoring was as follows : Mangataiore, first innings, 179. Kaitaia. First Innings K.

PERIA DEFEATS MANGATAIORE Peria had a first innings victory over Mangataiore at Peria on Saturday. Conditions were good, the pitch played well, but the outfield was or. the rough side. In Mangataiore’s first innings they could raise only 19 runs and T. Nathan registered a fine bowling performance by taking 6 wickets for 5 runs. In their second trip to the wicket, however, the Mangataiore batsmen

did much better and they managed to avert an outright loss. Peria, First Innings J. Francis, c and b Switzer .... 7 C. Rogers, b Kitchen 3 T. Nathan, b Switzer 4 H.

Another well-attended practice was held by the girls over the weekend. As many of the players will be absent next week the next practice will probably not be held until the following weekend. In an endeavour to purchase more gear the club will be holding another dance in the near future.
