SATURDAY’S GAMES I.C.C. DECISIVELY DEFEAT MARIST UNION AND APPLEBY WIN JUNIOR PLAYER’S CENTURY Freshened by Friday’s welcome rains, grounds were again in good order for the resumption of club cricket competitions on Saturday afternoon. Weather conditions were warm and all round the playing conditions were ideal. The fourth series of senior games in the first round were concluded and resulted in wins for Invercargill (8 points), Appleby (5 points) and Union (5 points). As the result o» .these games High School (two losses) still lead in the championship, with Appleby (one loss) second and Marist (one loss) third. Following is the position of teams: — Points. High School 22 Appleby 21 Marist 18 Union 16 Invercargill 16 Bluff 3 There were no games played in the Junior A section. In the third grade game Collegiate B v. Borstal Dawson, a Collegiate player, scored 131 runs. APPLEBY v. HIGH SCHOOL This game was concluded on the Showgrounds and resulted in a first innings win for Appleby by 50 runs. On the first day Appleby scored 221 runs and High School had lost two wickets for SI. Resuming on Saturday K. Uttley and Spence, the not out men, added only one run when Spence was caught in the slips off Johnson. Uttley and Rodger made a good stand and improved School’s position considerably by taking the score to 129. At this stage, Uttley, who had batted soundly, played one from McGowan rm to his wicket. The retiring batsman added 30 to his not out innings of the previous week and was instrumental in holding up the Appleby attack at a time when the chances of the game favoured School. He was dropped by McGowan at 30 and.later survived a confident appeal for a catch behind the wickets. After Uttley’s departure the Appleby bowlers got on top and despite poor fielding accounted for the remaining six wickets for 40 runs. School totalled 170. Appleby batted a second time and were dismissed for 122 ami with little more than half an hour to play School put on 70 for the loss of four wickets. A feature of the afternoon’s play was the bright and clean fielding of the School team. Messrs W. A. H. Oliver and R. G. Hallamore were the umpires. Following are details:— APPLEBY.

INVERCARGILL v. MARIST Invercargill secured a decisive win over Marist by nine wickets and thus gained the distinction of being the first team to defeat Marist. Continuing their innings on Saturday, Invercargill took their score to 179, 50 in advance of Marist’s first innings total. Gilbertson (43) again batted consistently and was the last Invercargill man to be dismissed. McMillan (Marist) was the most successful bowler, his five wickets costing 12 runs each. Marist batted a second time, but again failed to reproduce their early season form and were dismissed for 124. This left Invercargill 75 to get to secure an outright win, a feat which was accomplished with the lees of one wicket and half an hour to spare.

UNION v. BLUFF At Bluff the home team put up a good showing against Union and kept the visitors from securing the outright win which other senior teams have inflicted against them this season.
