THE FIVE DAY WEEK AND CRICKET With the advent of the five-day week in Kaitaia, comes the advent of all-day cricket for all teams in the Mangonui County. Country teams were already playing one day cricket amongst themselves, but town teams when playing country teams and when playing each other, had agreed on two-day games. The draw would probably have been upset if that state of affairs had continued. Now with the coming of the 5-day week, all day cricket will be possible to all teams. Starting Saturday next games in the senior competition will commence at 10 a.m. Starting times of junior games are still in doubt, however. KOHUKOHU V. MAMARI Mamari met Kohukohu at Kohukohu in the second game of the first round. The weather was perfect and the ground good but for a surplus of grass which kept scoring low. Kohukohu led in the first innings by five runs. The second innings showed an improvement, Mamari being left wfth 66 runs to win. This was accomplished with the loss of four wickets. To give Mamari an outright win, R. Hawkins knocked vp 44 of the required number, his score containing five sixers. The results are as follows : Kohukohu, Ist innings 43 (O. Dunning 15. S. Mansbridge 4 for 4, H. Mansbridge 3 for 5, E. Kingdon 2 for 11). Mamari, Ist innings, 38 (E. Kingdon 11. R. Hansen 7 for 25). . Kohukohu, 2nd innings, 60 (Armstrong 25 not out. E.

TUTEKEHUA The Broadwood team travelled to Tutekehua to play the local side on Saturday. The day was fine and conditions good. Tutekehua batting firrt dii! not fare well, the destructive feam. being the bowling of S. Fergusson, wl.o finished with the fine average of 8 wickets for 7 runs. F. Walker with 15, was the only batsman to reach double figures and the innings closed for 28. Of Broadwood’s early batsmen, only S. Fergusson, who compiled 20, stayed any length of time at the crease .
