GORE CRICKET

EASTERN SOUTHLAND COMPETITION The Eastern Southland senior grade cricket competition will finish tomorrow when the final matches of the second round of the competition will be played. After this, the games postponed earlier in the season will be played. Most interest in tomorrow's games will be taken in the match between the old rivals, Gore and Celtic. The two teams have already met once this season, and on that occasion Celtic narrowly averted defeat, the match resulting in a draw. Tomorrow’s fixtures are as follows:—Gore v. Celtic at Gore No. 1; Heriot-Edievale v. Tapanui at Tapanui; Wyndham v Pukerau at Wyndham; Mataura v. Waikoikoi at Waikoikoi. Because of the closeness of the competition it will be nfccessary to play all postponed matches before the winning team can be decided. The following matches have yet to be played: Gore v. Mataura at Mataura; Gore v. Heriot-Edievale at Heriot; Mataura v. Pukerau at Pukerau; Waikoikoi V. Tapanui at Waikoikoi; Waikoikoi v. Heriot-Edievale at Heriot.
