CRICKET REP. GAMES

HAWKE’S BAY VISIT MARCH 25 AGREED TO Arrangements were made by the Poverty Bay Cricket Association’s management committee at a meeting last night for a visit from the Hawke’s Bay senior and junior representative teams.

The Hawke’s Bay Cricket Association wrote suggesting March 25 and 26 as dates for the visits of their senior and junior teams to Gisborne and inquiring regarding the possibility of billeting junior players. The dates were accepted, avid the secretary was instructed to advise Hawke’s Bay that any high school boys in either team could be billeted by local High School players. Mr. R. H. Cook reported that slumps required for the High School wickets were being returned to the Oval, causing late starts in the matches jn the High School ground. Teams were asked to see that the stumps were returned to the proper places at the school after each day’s play. As the senior B representatives were due to play Wairoa .on March 19 in Wairoa, it was decided to play that team against Wanderers next week-end in a practice match. It was decided also to close the clubs’ averages with the final championship competition matches, which will conclude on Saturday. File Shield challenges for the balance of the season were arranged as follows:—March 12. Gisborne Refrigerating Company; March 19, the Printers; March 26i Bignell and Holmes; April 2, Radio Dealers.
