SENIOR A OLD BOYS WIN NARROWLY In the senior A division on the Oval on Saturday, in (lie match between Old Boys and Marist, after a very close game Old Boys took the points, being only seven runs ahead on the two innings scores. At the end of the first, day's play the position looked very comfortable for Old Boys, but in their second innings they we're dismissed for 5.2. K. James and G J. Robertson were in form with the hall, , , After dismissing Old Boys so cheaply, a good effort was put up by Marist and they were unfortunate not to take the decision. M. K. Boon just missed his half-century, hitting his wicket while playing a ball from Blathwayt. At that stage there were, 100 runs on the board. C. Coupe was the only other batsman to make a stand. Both hatted brightly. V. Caulton. four for 10, and J. Blathwayt. four for 23, look howling honors tor Old Boys. Details are: — OLD BOYS First Innings 127 Second Inning? P. 0.

SENIOR B MARIST BEAT GISBORNE On the first, day of play in the B grade Marist-Gisborne Club cricket match, a. closb issue was indicated by the first innings' scores.
