CRICKET

Inter-Club Matches Played Inter-club cricket matches in all grades were played in Invercargill on Saturday afternoon. The wickets were in fairly good order, but there was a strong wind blowing from the north-west GOOD WIN FOR UNlON— Union obtained a win over I.C.C. by an innings and 48 runs. I.C.C. took first strike and made only 26, R. Mainwarring being the only player to reach double figures. Marshall was in form with the ball and took seven wickets for 19 runs.

Dixon and 24 by Marshall increased the score considerably and when the innings was declared for six wickets the board showed the score to be 127. I.C.C. was given a second innings, but again the team did not score very freely. The 63 runs compiled came slowly, the best scorers being Mainwarring and Johnson, who hit up 10 and 15 respectively.
