OTAHUHU ASSOCIATION

CHALLENGE STILL UNBEATEN Bain interfered with play in the gamtis played under the control of the Otahuhu Cricket Association on Saturday and occasional showers caused breaks during the afternoon.

There were several good scores registered and the leading team, Challenge, again secured a win and jnaintained its unbeaten record. Two batsmen topped the half-century, while several bowlers registered good figures. Results were SENIOR GRADE Challenge v.
