SUBURBAN MATCHES

PLAY IN SECOND ROUND LOW SCORING GENERAL CENTURY TO N. GOLDSWORTHY The Auckland City and Suburban Cricket Association commenced the second series of matches in the second round of its senior championship at the Domain on Saturday. Conditions were ideal', and, although the wickets favoured the batsmen, the scores were comparatively poor. In the principal game, Mount Roskill was dismissed for 81 in its first innings against Green Lane, which lost six wickets for 75. R.V. made 201 in its first innings against Ponsonby, which failed badly, losing seven wickets for 46 runs. Brixton compiled 112 against Manukau, the grade leaders, which scored 119 for the loss of seven wickets. The best batting . performance was registered by N. S. Goldsworthy, R.V., who compiled 130. Others who batted well were:—T. C. Webster, R.V., 52 not out; H. Peters, Brixton, 47; C. J. Williams, Manukau, 45. Bowling for Green Lane, J. Lonergan took three wickets for 2 runs. The next best performances were: —J. Mann, Manukau, four for 14; N. Martin, Manukau, five for 41; C. Kerr, Green Lane, four for 32. BATSMEN FAIL GREEN LANE AND ROSKILL Green Lane's attack proved troublesome to Mount Roskill and the wickets fell quickly. Wood (21) and Langdon (2D) were the only batsmen to reach double figures. Langdon scored with some nice shots through the covers. Wood was more aggressive, and at times a little impatient. Lonergan proved a good change bowler, securing three wickets. Kerr maintained a good length throughout and was difficult to score off. Green Lane did not bat as well as was expected and at stumps had lost six wickets for 75 runs. Lonergan (27 not out) and Kerr (23) were the top-scorers. Scores:— MOUNT ROSKILL.—First Innings S. Yates, b Crowhurst 5 R. Watkins, b Kerr 9 P. Wood, c Gifford, b Barnes .. .. 21 J.

A fine century by Goldsworthy was a feature of R.V.'a first innings against Ponsonby. Goldsworthy. who opened with Cloke, settled down to give a delightful exhibition of forceful hitting. He treated all bowlers alike and drove powerfully on the off side. Goldsworthy compiled his century in 64 minutes, and went on to get 130 before Shepherd bowled him. His score included 15 fours and four sixes. It was easily the most attractive innings seen this season. Webster, a left-hander, batted nicely for 52 not out, scored with well-placed shots all round the wicket. Shepherd, five wickets for 66, was the most successful bowler for Ponsonby. Ponsonby made a poor start and at stumps had lost seven wickets for 46 runs. Nicholas secured pace off the wicket in taking four wickets for 11 runs. v Scores:— R.V. —First Innings A.
